Shirley I really feel for you, there is nothing worse and I know because I

have been there. The hormones actually made things worse for me when they

put me on them first. Now, knowing what I know, I wouldn't take them anyway.

Try taking, Vitex (valerian), black cohosh, red clover blossom & wild yam.

Just remember that it won't happen overnight but it will help eventually. I

am sure that others can give you more information that will help you but this

is about the extent of my knowledge.

Good luck and remember that life does return to normal especially when you

take the natural route.

Shirley, There are some books on that subject on replacing

your hormones naturally. I have one of Dr. R. Lee's books that

promotes using natural hormonal cream, but you would need to

supply yourself with the estrogen also if you lost your ovaries.

I think a book is the best place to start because a womans

hormonal make up is so complex, it rules our world. I wouldn't

do justice trying to help you out.

Not just taking herbs but eating certain foods like soy helps

increase estrogen. Also the creams are helpful. I didn't lose

my uterus or anything but I had a really bad hormonal imbalance

and that progesterone cream helped me. I took it for 6 months.

Book- " What your doctor may not tell you about menopause "

Thank-you Liz!! I will check out the book, maybe local library might have it!!

As for soy I am not suppose to have that because of my thyroid problem. Which I

found out about 2 months ago about that from my thyriod site. Again I thank you

for the info I will use it!!! Anything has to help, because what I'm doing sure

isn't!! LOL!!! shirley
