fraggle 10 Apr 6:22pm, 10 Apr 2021 2795 posts	0 fraggle Question for the medics - I stopped HRT before my ankle op (yesterday) and the hot flushes have been bloody awful- when can I start back on it again? Have been given no advice on it 🙄
Ness 10 Apr 6:26pm, 10 Apr 2021 14586 posts	0 Ness I’m not a medic, Fraggle, but when I had my hip resurfacing op in 2002, I recall having to wait for two weeks after becoming fully mobile before I could restart taking the pill. Perhaps HRT is the same.

Ness 10 Apr 6:45pm, 10 Apr 2021 14587 posts	0 Ness I would guess that yes. I said 2002 in my previous comment. It was actually 2003. Please excuse the typo. Think I waited til I was walking unaided but was over cautious. That was about six weeks. I could be wrong about that though. I do remember I was on blood thinners/warfarin initially after my op.
run free 11 Apr 3:56pm, 11 Apr 2021 4764 posts	0 run free My periods have stopped since December, and since then my skin has been bliddy awful (rash everywhere) and sleep totally lacking. My fitbit has given an estimate of 8-14 hours sleep a week. Coping but sometimes want to a) rip the skin apart and b) just get up instead of keeping my eyes closed for most of the night
