Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Hi Tess, Sorry, I can't be of any help on this one. I have been in dry dock since 1989 and have been on HRT for that long also. Estrogen only as they took my ovaries due to the PCOS and the fact that they were ready to burst while he was in there. My hot flashes which I still have feel like the heat just rises from somewhere deep inside and keeps on going until it gets to the top of your head, something like a cartoon character. Not a very pleasant feeling. I could not take the oral estrogen as it caused disturbances with my contacts and I gained two bra cup sizes. So they put me on the patches, contact OK, boobs OK, Me OK. Good luck, sweetie. Hopefully, the doc will have some answers for you on Thursday. Have a pain free evening, Gentle, tender, angel hugs, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
