mary cay, that's all very interesting,
i started progesterone (bioidentical topical creme) but that hasn't really done much for me that i can tell.
the endocrinologist and i have talked about maybe adding in estrogen (looks like maybe i've finally hit menopause).
your comments make that idea even stronger in my mind.
can you link any of the stuff you read regarding the estrogen?
i'll see what i can dig up as well by googling and searching pubmed, but anything you have would be great to read.

thanks,

but reading kat's comments a little further on, a reminder why i've been weighing the decision of estrogen so carefully.......still, for me, it might be worth trying. if it doesn't seem to help, i can always stop it. as for all the other controversy of hormone therapy, it makes my head swim.
