HRT and Relapsing Remitting MS

I was wondering if anyone here has started on HRT in their mid 40s and found it helped with MS symptoms at all, along with other things (please feel free to share 'other things' if you are comfortable as I have read HRT can help with issues such as loss of libido and with pain and dryness you-know-where). HRT is something I am considering trialling in a low dose, but I'm still researching the benefits and have been given some information from a doctor to read through as well. My impression from reading and listening to podcasts so far is that it all sounds very complicated with the monitoring of oestrogen and progesterone. I don't feel that I have the cognitive or memory skills to be monitoring levels meticulously, cycling progesterone, or even to take things daily (I often forget to take things in my pill box!). I wondering if I am overwhelming myself by reading too much and overcomplicating something that's actually quite simple...

@AndreaG Thanks for your reply, Andrea. I’m going to be having a blood test to check my thyroid and hormones soon as this would establish if I’d be suitable to trial a low dose of HRT. I’m experiencing a few symptoms that MS shares, so being of a certain age now, I may need some hormonal assistance. :)
