Julia-
One question and a comment. You mentioned the dr comtemplating possible
HRT for you, but, has the dr proposed hormonal testing to see what
hormones you are showing a deficiency in? If not, may I suggest a
hormonal work-up, to make sure the dr is prescribing the proper types
and dosages of the right HRT for you. Cheryl :o)
