Will HRT help with menopause weight gain, hotness and joint pains?
HRT will definitely help the hot flushes at night and probably aid sleep. Unfortunately I would doubt if it will assist in your weight gain because certain medications will help you put on abit – which you do not want of course. My advice would be to try patches; these are a much lower dose than tablets and may suit you. For the arthritis consult your doctor who can give you something to ease this – plus buy a pillow designed specifically for arthritis sufferers. I’m afraid the weight gain is going to be down to diet – check what you are eating and maybe go on a healthy food regime so as you don’t actually ‘feel’ like you are on a diet.
