For heat flashes Evening in Primrose Oil works good. I don't know about the other stuff cause I would have a nervous breakdown without the Estrogen, not to mention dryness and the bones. Guess I could take anti-depressants but then you get other side-affects from that too....vicious circle again! JEAN

I don't know if this is right or not, but one doctor told me that estrogen could make my adhesions grow, so I've stopped. This is not good for moods, hot flashes, calcium, bones, etc. But we'll see what happens after the operation (6/28) in Scranton, Penn. at the community Hospital there with Dr. Reich and Redan. Does anyone know the answer? Sally Grigg

I can't take chances since I was already crippled as a child from a bone disease and have a hip-replacement now. I also have degeneration in my spine and scoliosis.
