Dear Cindy, I had a hysterectomy with both ovaries removed and immediately was put on HRT. Eighteen years later my sister contracted breast cancer so all her sisters were advised to stop taking HRT. Within a month I developed severe hot flashes with terrible sweats twice an hour! I'd become dripping wet and then I'd get chilled. This went on all day long. I seemed to develop one cold after another! Within 4-6 months I noticed my skin started showing premature aging. Then a bone density test showed my bones had suddenly gone from strong, to showing osteopenia (a step above osteoporosis). I have returned to taking a low dosage of HRT and feel much, much better.

The point being, if you have had both ovaries removed, and you're feeling miserable on HRT, think how much worse you'd be without it!

Perhaps your doctor can give you a different brand??
