Comment on Unwanted side effects of (bioidentical) hormone replacement therapy by Barbara

Barbara — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:50:48 +0000

I am a 64 year old female with depleted hormones. I had a heart attack in 2003, but have been fine since. I have had hot flashes for the past 10 years and they continue and have seemed to be getting worse. My mother, now deceased, from heart disease, had them too until she died at age 68. At least twice daily, I soak my blouses thoroughtly and am miserable from the heat I generate in my own body. I also wake up at night hot and sweaty. I thought that by now, at the age of 64, this should be over with. However, it continues. I have never used HRT , but now am thinking that bio identical hormonr therapy may make my quality of life better and, believe me, I am miserable now. My regular gynecologist does not prescribe bioidentical hormones, so I guess I will have to leave her and find another doctor that does. I will do anything at this point to feel better.
