Esther McCarthy: Going cold turkey on HRT leaves me in a flux

Trigger warning: This column contains psychotic, perimenopause-induced ramblings. You can’t say you weren’t warned.

Esther McCarthy: I’m going cold turkey on the old HRT until things balance out. This is bad news for everyone.

So! Thanks to my idiotic ovaries going rogue and firing out oestrogen like it’s 2008, my hormones are, to use a medical term, gone mental.

Blood tests show I have 10 times the normal amount of oestrogen. Ten?! (I was like Tommy Bowe hearing numbers of siblings when I got the results.)
