I started taking Natural HRT 6 years ago and I thank God every day for them.
At the age of 39, I found I had a severe case of endometriosis. Because of the severity, I had to have a partial amount of my bladder removed and my bowels were covered with it. They scraped off as much as possible, but couldn't get it all because the doctor was afraid he might injure my bowels. Of course, I had a complete hysterectomy. The doctor said that due to not being able to remove all of the endo, (off of my bowels), he ask me to wait for at least 6 months to start taking HRT. I was more than ready when the 6 months was up. He started me out on premarin. I literally had more problems taking that then not taking anything at all. It made me more depressed, I got the WORST yeast infection I have ever had and it just plain didn't help. He told me to increast the amount. Needless to say, that did not help either. I quit taking it and several months after that I talk to a friend whos' doctor recommended the Natural HRT. After much fighting to get someone to work with me to get a prescription to see the pharmacist, I have never felt better!!!
I want to add that this is MY body and if this is what I want to take and it's what works for ME it surely is not any one elses business, especially a large pharmacutal company that's mad because they are not making a profit from it.
Please, please, please.....leave it alone!!!!!!!!!
