After a full hysterectomy, I had a difficult time with surgical menopause. I tried the pill forms of HRT but they caused too many side effects and the dosages were either too high, not enough, or I couldn't process them correctly due to other GI conditions. When I was able to get a doctor to prescribe bio-identical hormones tailored to my specific body and needs, my life changed for the better. We need to keep access to this type of therapy.
