To have hormone replacement or not???
My Doctor has given me a prescription for Estradot patches because at the time of my last checkup I was experiencing regular "hot flushes" particularly at night! I have found that the hot flushes have decreased in number and also in severity - so I am at odds with myself as to - do I have to have the estrogen patches for my health or can I live a healthy life without them??? If anyone can comment or has any information regarding HRT I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks

Re: To have hormone replacement or not???
I think it depends on your age, other supplements, and symptoms. If you don't want to take HRT, a lot of women can't or won't, and do OK. But some even high risk end up on them due to bad symptoms. If you're happy not using it, ask about which supplements to take, get your Drs opinion, and see how you do. You can discuss bone and heart health as it applies to you when you have your appt, and keep track of any symptoms you have before that. Then you can make the right decision for you; I think it's a personal decision.
