Lynda,
Wonder what the Estraderm Patch has in it, that's what I have??
I don't have to regulate doses, always the same patch...the BIG one (LOL)!
As far as brittle bones that is one thing, but when you already have a bone disease, scoliosis, degeneration and a hip-replacement that could mean never walking again and I sure don't choose that for my future. If my bone breaks I won't even have anything to hold my replacement in and with a hip-replacement you risk bone loss as it is. I could not deal with not having a leg and walking hunch-back to boot.
I'll go along with the Reeses though!!!!!

Premarin is made of Pregnant Mare Urine. Bleah, I can't even go there.
I already decided if the ovaries had to go, I will grin and bear it til the
menopausal episodes are done. Some foods help with hot flashes etc.
including tofu.
The people I know who are on hormone replacement therapy are always grouchy
and having mood swings/hot flashes because the dose is never quite right.
The people I know who decided against hormone replacement therapy, who try to
manage things with diet and herbal remedies, are happy campers.
WHY oh WHY did Eve have to eat the $#@! apple in the first place? I hate
apples.
Of course it is an individual decision, what to do when the ovaries go. I
would take brittle bones and hot flashes over devil pain any day, but that's
just me. Today has been a rotten pain day, still better than before my
surgery but not what I had hoped for. Oh well, it could always be worse,
right? Pass the Reese's...
Love,
Lynda M. in AZ
