That was an excellent post from BarbaraCat. I just wanted to add that I have several friends and a sister who are taking bioidentical hormones and doing very well on them. The latest treatment that is so popular, particularly for menopausal women, is to have your hormone levels tested. Then the doctor gives you a prescription that you can take to a compounding pharmacy. They make up a cream (to be used topically) with bioidentical hormones that is specifically tailored to the amounts you require.What makes me so sick about Prempro is that the knowledge has been there all along to use bioidentical hormones. The synthetic progestins and the horse urine estrogen were used because the bioidenticals were not patentable. Countless women have gotten all kinds of health problems because the drug companies couldn't make big bucks from the real thing.
