, thanks for the site. Boy, now I can see what some of my problems

are. I have NO hormones in my system, even though I take estrogen. All my

labs come back showing no estrogen, testosterone or any other hormones.

In the article it said that estorgen decreases antibody protection and

testosterone has a suppressive effect or protective role in autoimmune

diseases.

Do you think any doctors would listen to this? LOL

Thanks again.

Sharon, don't know why I even take them if they don't work. lOL I just can't

keep any hormones in my body and they can't figure it out. Thought by

keeping me on estrogen it would help my bones. My sister was taken off

estrogen because of her high risk of breast cancer. She took Glenda's

advise and went on Soy. She is feeling great. Thank you Glenda, if I forgot

to tell you.

Hi

Saw your post about hormones..to be honest I went cold turkey during my change

of life since the military doctors almost killed me with them. They actually

overdosed me so I went to a civilian doctor who had fits about the dose they put

me on. Took me off of the hormons completely and I haven't taken another one

since. I sure suffered through those hot spells...but it was worth it.
