Hi everyone.

I have recently started takeing Black Cohosh supplements for hot flashes and and mood swings while I am on Lupron. However, when I was trying to understand the way it works, the woman in the health food store told me it mimics estrogen, which concerns me. I do not want to be on add-back therapy, as I want to keep my estrogen levels down. I think we should find out more about the methods which natural supplements work in women with endo. If anyone knows anything, please let me know. Thanks to Lori for bringing this up! Did anyone else see the special on TV??
