Before I had my first hormone injection I was having hot flashes, tired all the time, fatigue and body aches. About two weeks after I had my first injection my hot flashes were gone. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I couldn't believe how much better my joints felt. I can't say enough about this treatment. I have told many of my friends about it. Why suffer when there is such a great option for women. The only down side is the insurance doesn't seem to think this treatment is necessary. If they only knew how it has improved mine and many women's lives.
