Hi BJ:
Thanks for the reply:-). What I mean by "flare" is that I get sacral
and lowback pain -- pain I refer to as endo pain although the endo
specialists have excised all visible endo???!!!???
I thought progesta cream was the one you used LOL! I guess I need to
check out the Progest cream -- maybe I can find it on the net so I can
view the ingredients -- unless, that is ;-), that you would want to type
the ingredients in a post.
