I took premarin (sp?) for a couple of years for hot flashes and craziness (sure it has another name). I stopped because of published concerns..stopped 5 years before bc diagnosis. I am sure there are some medical remedies but I am choosing exercise, healthy diet, and mental stimulation...I am 60, and so far things seem to be working well ...when the joints really hurt I take ibuprofen...it seems that a year of bc treatment puts a different perspective on normal discomfort!
