Just making sure that I shouldn't contact my endo but I am having flu like symptoms but I am not sick.
I have just started HRT and am just on a very low dose of Estradiol. I am currently assuming that these are the effects of the hormone bottoming out during the evening as I take mine during the morning. It's not life threatening or anything that I can tell. My heart and blood pressure are still great and I have no DVT to stroke symptoms.
So with all that in mind hopefully you all can have a good laugh at the new girl just going through some hot flashes.

Nice. I think I'm good. Mel Brooks doesn't seem to be directing my life. However Terri Gilliam maybe...
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life :D

You are building up to your "working level" Estrogen in your system, and it does take a few days to weeks, and until it stabilizes, you can end up feeling kind of weird. Its quite a roller coaster, but you can enjoy it, but no harm talking to the Endo.

Thanks. It's always good to have those second opinions. Especially when your body is going from freezing cold to a sweaty mess every hour and you are trying to think. "It's going to be okay..."

Heh, my mother in law is 60- went through her "phase", and we bitched together for the first three weeks of my HRT as I had hot flashes. It went away after week three, don't worry too much!
