Re: Deep, gut feeling
wow! I had a hysterctomy at 31 yrs old. I lost one ovary and kept one. that was in 1985. I started taking HRT in 1991. i started with .625 premarin. took it for 10 yrs or better. It certalinly stopped all the hot flashes and sweats. then i stopped for a while but the hot flashes came back. I then took .325 the lowest dose available. I took that about 5 yrs then stopped and had no more problems. Now I am wondering if that contributed to my BC. my doctor said i needed it for my bones too. it was 6 of one and half dozen of the other. BC has never been in my family on either side so I figured I had nothing to worry about. Alzheimers runs in my family. I am taking care of my mother who suffers from AD. I prayed that i would never get that disease cause I could not see my children taking care of me... guess we need to be careful what we ask for! Bonita
