HRT
Hi am a 39 year old woman who had a complete hysterectomy 51/2 years ago. I was on hormones for about 2 years and we could never seem to get them regulated. They were actually causing endometr. to grow on my bowels and bladder so the doc took me off for a year and then put me back on for a while. I am now off again and I am on Lexapro to help with the mood swings. That seems to work great, no more real low moments but the last week I have noticed ( been off hrt now for 16 months ) that I am experiencing alot of vaginal dryness, cotton mouth, breast tenderness and the dreaded hot flashes. I do not know what to do. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I am scheduled for hyster on the 20th of this month. What are the best natural hormone replacement to take?
Look into the bio-identicals (plant based) for HRT. I purchased Amberen. I had only read glowing reports and my experiences were horrible with the product. I did not sleep at all, my anxiety level rose and only when I stopped the product did I get any relief from these increased reactions. I had chosen the free trial but when I started to have problems the company suggested that I double my dosage and it was pure hell. Because I doubled my dosage, I no longer qualified for the free trial and now had to pay for a product that not only did not work for me but actually made my symptoms worse. I have since found out that I am estrogen dominant and that perhaps is the problem. I am currently on bio-identicals and all of my menopause symptoms are gone.
Just put me back on premrin along with lexapro. Seems to be working but that is what I was on before and it caused the endometr. to grow and I am also afraid of long term effects of HRT.
Try Amberen.com It's works with the hypothalamus in regulating the body. I have tried all the ones the Dr's. recommended and gained weight and have had terrible hot flashes.
