Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello there, Welcome to the group, happy that you joined us. Yes I have gone through this menopause thing too, I had to have a hysterectomy at 36, and was put on hormone replacement for many years. When all the buzz was how bad they were for women, I asked my Doctor if I should stop taking them, he said no that he did not feel that was necessary. I later developed a lot of pain in my legs, aching and asked the same Doctor what it could be. He said well it is probably the hormones that you are on. Then I started doing my own research to find out about these hormone replacement drugs, and could not believe that the Doctor had continued to give me a new script every year for them for almost 20 years. At this point I started looking for natural alternatives, the black cohosh, valerian, and omega 3 is things that I took to help me too. What symptoms are you still having, and about how old are you? Knowing what symptoms you are still having might help me to help you better. Menopause can be quite the challenge for sure. Annie > Greetings to you all! This is my first time to post something here.
