Bio-Identical Hormones

Can someone explain to me what Bio-Identical Hormones are? I am 11 weeks post-op with complications from colitis. I am lightheaded and jittery with nausea. Feel like the pregnant nausea. I'm on Vivelle Dot 3.75cm. I sure haven't felt very good lately. Have the blurry vision and confusion too! I will go see my dr. on Nov. 9th. Would like to know what the Bio-Identical Hormones are so I can ask him about it. I'm taking PreNatal Vitamins, Citrical and Omega Supplements. My system is so sensitive to everything. I had to quit taking stool softeners as they made me really nauseated. I sure do like this HysterSisters website, sure makes me feel good and not all alone. Thanks for all your help ladies!

Becky,
I'm assuming that you are on the .0375 Vivelle Dot, which is bio identical estradiol. The .0375 is a pretty low dose, it may be that you need a higher dose.
