Me...keep the estrogen coming! My comment: I took Prempro fanatically back in those pre-menopausal years and have been taking a natural estrogen made with soy (Estraven) for the last ten or so years.......all these HRT's were to avoid the hot flashes, night sweats, irritability and osteoporosis in later years..... Well, now it's the later years, and guess what? I sweat profusely all night and every night, I've already been dx'd with osteoporosis, and hubby says I'm irritable as a result of the nights without sleep!! You just can't win!
