Hormones

[Guest guest]

I am a little ambivalent about hormones, so I found

that article pretty interesting. About ten years ago,

before reaching menopause I was advised by my doctor

to try hormone replacement. I was not very keen, but

to my surprise I found it really helped my breathing

problems! This was ages before I was dx with rp but I

am pretty sure it had started because I felt so grim

all the time.

Anyway, recently I thought, 10 years, maybe I should

have a break, so I stopped taking them and BOY did

those hot flushes kick in!!! Anyway last week my

rheumy (in whom I have absolute faith) said it would

better for my general well being if I continued, so I

have gone back on them, thank God I am beginning to

cool off! Love Liz
