Hello All,
A quick update as to how I am progressing. here is my first msg - which was under anonymous (sorry):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have suffered with hot fashes however the lack of enrgy is mind-boggling, really. My thinking is confused and my temperment is way off. I researched the bio-identical hormone replacement area and found it to be a good choice for me. I just returned from my doctor yesterday. I had 10 of E and 112 T inserted. He numbed the area and there was NO discomfort at all... and I have a VERY low pain threshold In two weeks I should see an improvement in sleeping and hot flashes. In 4-5 weeks, mental clarity and mood changes. I have to take Prometrium for the first ten days of each month. I will be happy to let you all know how I make out with this treatment.

UPDATE:
I had the pellets inserted July 27th. I was told to take Premarin (100) for the first ten days of the month. I did get a period at the end of this time, like clockwork, which lasted about 4-5 days, minor cramps, no problems. My night sweats have stopped completely, my hot flashes have stopped completely, my libido is way up (yay!). I do sleep much, much better, which makes my attitiude improved, of course. Now, the mental clarity is supposed to be improved - hard to tell - still a bit foggy there, however I was told it would take awhile...like 5 weeks. There is a bit of a bloated feeling however along with my stomach botherng me - - so I am drinking more water and cutting down on salt. I go for another appointment 9/28.
I really think it's important to rule OUT other causes of problems. Before starting with SottoPelle, I cleared everything with my GYN - normal physical, pap, mammogram. Also cleared it with the cardiologist. Started the Bio-identical hormones, but still have to have everything checked out by the gastro people. Have an exam early September just to rule things like gastritis, irritable bowel, etc out. Now, if you have a good insurance, this is a good idea. I am not a hypochondriac however I think it's crucial that everybody is on the same page. You don't want to end up on prozac if it's hormone related, right? Will let you know the progress as time goes on....Deborah
