Thanks for such a great answer! I love you guys.

I'm 52. At 46 I suffered major prolapse so had a partial hyster. Both my ovaries worked great until 2 years ago. Hit menopause really hard and fast. So bad I had memory problems and was afraid to drive. Since I have to work I went on hrt. First dose was the normal one my Doc said but it gave me major headaches. I also could never take birth control pills for same reason.

Now I take 0.3 mgs. of premarin (estrogen) once a day, no progest. since I had hyster. No stroke etc in my family but lots of migraines. I tried 3 months with a naturopath but lost my mind. Had to go back to hrt or quit working. Could not function.

Today is 3rd day lc and doing well and not hungry. Wasa bread is amazing. You get used to the taste, dry and crunchy, but loaded with fibre. very low carb. Be sure to get the "lite" kind. Made in sweden but sold in all major supermarkets.

Thanks for all your help. Do you get weighed often or once a week? Bye for now. nancy
