Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 HELLO CLAUDIA, READING YOUR POST, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAD THE BONE DENSITY TEST I HAVE OSTEOPORSIS, NOW MORE PILLS AND I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FALL. ISA My visit to Gyn. Hi group. Just thought I'd let you know that I went to the gyn to get my hormones straightened out and guess there is no hope. LOL He said that there is nothing much he can do.. The patch didn't work right, the premarin and estrace aren't doing it and he is at a loss as to what to do next. One dose is not enough and if I just up it 1/2 it is too much... Go figure. When I took birth control pills I was sick all the time, when I was pregnant (all 3 times) I had morning sickness for 8 months. He thinks I'm just sensitive to estrogen. Said I would have to make a choice of living with hot flashes and moodiness or the nausea and breast tenderness. What a great choice. LOL I asked if being low on estrogen would do any harm and he said " only cause osteoporosis" Great.... add that to all the pred and I should have great bones. LOL Sometimes I think we are better off not hearing what the drs have to say. He is a great dr but didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. LOL Guess we can't have everything. hugsDISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 claudia, Have you ever tried any of the natural herbs or vitamins that they have out now for the estrogen replacement and hormone problems? (Please don't ask me what they are because I am not sure!). I know I have seen them in Walmart and a variety of pharmacies. I also know that I work with women who use them over the RX ones because they get better relieve. Have you talked to your pharmacist to see if he/she has any suggestions????
