Electrical Shocks to the Skin: Menopause

[Biciclista]

Me too! I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it, Mimi.

My hot flashes never last more than 30 seconds or so, so I cannot complain. I am at high risk for breast cancer so I refuse to use HRT. Been going cold turkey since my surgery and it's ok. I can take the heat, even if it lasts until I'm 80!

oh wow, i'm not alone!! thanks for letting me know, Jane!

I don't know and I'm not concerned about it yet. By the time I have been on it for several years (currently been on it about 6 months), they may have developed a very long term option. If not, I retire in 9 years and can accommodate my symptoms. Right now I have to work, be able to think straight and concentrate, so for now it's a Godsend

Stella, I'd be very surprised if your doctor lets you use HRT for ten years! at least in the states, the "rule" is 2 years.
