I started in 2007 at age 47. I was starting to have hot flashes and feeling tired all the time. I worked with my family physician who is a strong proponent of cBHT. He studied my levels and adjusted my doses until I felt better. In 2009, I had a total hysterectomy. Because of my cBHT, I was able to maintain sanity while I went through menopause. We found the best doses that have allowed me to live a happy life. I don't have hot flashes, I don't have the awful urgency to urinate, my mind is clear and I am able to go the whole day without needing a nap. I sleep very well at night and my life is so much better!
