Has anyone else experienced swelling of feet and a burning feeling from the estradial patch? I see there are reports of this on other threads of this message board but most of them don't mention any hormone therapy. I had no symptoms of this until the last month when I started using a the full patch of Estradial. Before this, I was usually cutting it in half.

It just occurred to me that this problem you are experiencing sounds like too much estrogen. 'Course, if you still have ovaries they might have temporarily increased their output - in which case it'll be fine in a short while. If the problem keeps up tho' my unprofessional opinion would be to lower your dose.(?)

I was also thinking that it might be too much estrogen. Do you have any idea how long it takes for your body to readjust when it has too much? I was using just half of the patch all last week and my feet are still swelling pretty badly as the day goes on.
