Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Most drs. now also use hrt during the worst symptoms of menopause and then take pts. off. I wish you well.
[ Reply | More ]yes, there are always tragic examples of how this can go wrong - and I'm sorry about your friend. But there is a huge difference between going through menopause and retaining ovaries that continue to release a small amount of hormone for the rest of your life and losing those ovaries to surgery.

Go nutritional and natural hormone balancing routes first. Exercise,don't smoke, drink alcohol in moderation. Go to www.garynull.com and do a search there. You'll find much good info. I don't believe in HRT; there's too much clinically evdenced harm there.
