Thank you all! Oak, good point about the allergies. I've never before been sensitive to anything, but it's a whole new ball game now! I've seen that list of the 35 symptoms before Helene and sadly I can relate to too many of them!! thekarens, I had the anxiety and panic attacks about 6 months ago, but that's gone away to be replaced by lethargy. My GP proscribed and anti-anxiety med which I never took, but still carry around with me. ;-) A week ago my face was breaking out like a teenager. Wrinkles and pimples??? How is that fair? Crankin, I broke down and am on the second day of HRT. My GYN wants me to try it for four months. It scares me to death actually.
