Can Missing Five Doses Of HRT Cause Serious Harm?

I just discovered that I missed taking my HRT for 5 days now. My name is Jo and I am 44 years of age, 5.1" tall, medium built. I had my hysterectomy in 2008. I have been taking my HRT since then. However, I found out that I forgot to take them for five days now. I felt different within those days, I was weak, my joints are aching and I was not able to sleep. I am at work and as if my concentration is gone. My skin looks dry and ugly. Would I be okay? Please advice

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You were taking hormone replacement therapy. you miss the dosage for 5 times. Don't worry much about that. Start it again as per advise. Your symptoms will subside within few days. It is not a matter of great concern.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
