Hi Pat:
Happy holidays to you. I know you must be going through it with your symptoms! HRT has been getting some very bad press lately (in the last week or so) of increasing the risk of breast cancer and many doctors are weaning their patients off of them. I have received a lot of relief from Estroven, I am 48 and have been bothered with symptoms for about 3 years. You might want to start adding soy to your diet which has natural hormones which help. I take vitamin E if I wake up with hot flashes and drink a glass of soy, too. I am fortunate to have a woman doctor who told me about Estroven, and says exercise helps a lot for many of the symptoms, I am going to start yoga, as I heard this is a good program for menopausal women. My doctor is against HRT. I hope some of this helps.
Best wishes,
Barbara

Hi and seasons greetings to all. I am writing to ask and get some
feedback if I can on my situation. I am a 64 year old women and went
through the change when I was 50. I have not been on hormones. Here
of late I have been having trouble with thyroid and was tested for
all my hormones including the females. My endro tells me that I am
almost depleted of them. When I went to see him I gave him a list
of my symtpoms and he said that many of them were female related. I
have so many symptoms and want to know if you all relate to any of
these? I do not sweat but do get spells of feeling like I am on fire
from head to toe.They pass fairly quick and are not all the time. I
also have moodiness and feeling down and wanting to cry for
whatever, the energy is about gone (lol) and comes over me like a
bomb. Have sleep troubles a lot as well. I ache and sometimes bad at
that, indigestion and gass a lot too. Have what I call feelings on
my skin and things that feel like electrical shocks that come and go
just as fast. I have not had a period in 14 years. My GYN has always
been after me to take HRT and I refused it as I did not want to gain
weight. Currently I am taking the Estroven and have been on it for
about three weeks now. But I had to laugh when I read someone wrote
that they can not even stand themselves as I am that way too. LOL I
had no trouble going through it and just some clotting and missed
months is all and then bang it was gone. BUT now I am wondering if
it would hurt me at my age to go on them? Has anyone started then at
this late stage? Any thoughts are appreciated.
Pat
