It got to the point where they would happen every 20 minutes. My HMO dr wouldn't even test me for hormones because she told me the HRT just causes cancer. I was also tired all the time - they tested my thyroid and my TSH was 5.4 and they wouldn't even do anything about it. I went to a functional medicine doctor, started on troche hormones and my TSH went down to 3.4 and things started going better. PLEASE don't take this away from us!
