I had a hysterectomy and developed nightsweats and hot flashes. The doctor gave me the Vivelle patch and I was fine for 3 months. I took it off for about 4 months until the hot flashes returned. I went back on it for a month and out of no where I started to have mini black outs. I also had neck pain, numbness and a dull headache. I was rushed to the ER after an episode and was checked out from head to toe. They could not find anything wrong with me. I had put a new patch on one day and noticed the symptoms getting worse. I have taken it off since and everyday feel better. The doctor's are not convinced it is the patch but I know my body and feel it is the cause of all my symptoms.

I am a 35 year old female who as of July 1,2006 am 8 years status post total abdomial hysterectomy. Following my surgery my physician tried several hormone treatments and we finally settled on Vivelle - I have been on it for about 7 years and have had no trouble.... It works wonderfully for me!

I had a hysterectomy on Oct. 7, and began using the Vivelle patch on Oct. 16, (one week ago). I put on a new patch on Oct. 20. I begin having shortness of breath periodically a few days ago, but have had it all day today (Oct.23). I read in the enclosed brochure with the patches that you may experience shortness of breath. Is the patch more than likely causing this problem?
