10 years and I have to say that no side effect has been absent: complete exhaustion, constant tiredness that accompanies you. Occasional calf pain, recurring bone pain, brain fog, difficulty concentrating,
Weight gain on the stomach etc.
The exhaustion in particular knocks me out at least once a month, so that I don’t really get out of bed for three days.
The whole thing takes its toll, of course… Unfortunately, the psyche too. Despite therapy and rehab, the last few years have been really tough.
Not everyone has this complaint, every body is different… And I voluntarily decided to have an ovariectomy 7 years ago.
But, and I have to say this now: it seems to be working. I’ve been cancer-free for 10 years.
Severe nocturnal foot cramps, which cannot be prevented even by the administration of magnesium.
I would also like to describe my first experiences with this medication.
Due to the many negative experience reports, I was very reluctant to take the medication and it was a terrible effort.
I therefore think it is important to write a reassuring experience report.
I have never had to struggle with hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy/breastfeeding/period, age, etc.) and I still don’t feel any side effects. I am doing very well with the medication – every woman is different!

At the beginning I had a lot of muscle pain, especially in my calves. This has improved.
However, I have hot flushes (bearable!) and mood swings. I’m constantly on 180 for little things. But also listless…..
What bothers me most is the weight gain. Only minimal in the first year, but suddenly at least 1 kg+ every month
