   I have just read all the comments on this page and am feeling quite depressed.

   I had a total hysterectomy one month ago and was prescribed Livial. I was extremely positive about starting HRT and my recovery from the hysterectomy started well. I remained positive for a week or so and within a few days of coming home I was well enough to potter in the kitchen, take my daily walk and look forward to all the benefits of my HRT.

   In the last week or so I have suffered severe headaches almost every day and wake up to find my fingers quite stiff. I lost a lot of weight while I was in hospital and now find this is returning quite quickly. I now feel quite negative about my recovery. Perhaps it is too early to blame the Livial - but reading these comments has made me wonder. What do others think?

   I'm like you - am going through premature menopause thanks to cervical cancer - and was initially fine on Livial (been on it around 5/6 months), but have found that my symptoms have returned and my joints are very sore and swollen. Not to mention mood swings, weight gain etc.

   Am changing my HRT so fingers crossed! :roll:
