Hi Nancy,

I, too, take Premarin. In fact I've just increased the dose from 0.3 to 0.625 as I was still getting (admittedly milder than before) hot flushes.

I'm quite sure that the HRT, along with some other meds I take, has slowed down my weight loss, but I am still losing!

Have you seen a specialist about maybe changing brands if you are still getting headaches? I only had headaches before I started - along with the hideaous hot flushes etc. (Interesting that we call 'em flushes and you call 'em flashes. )

About weighing - it's entirely up to you. I keep aiming at weighing weekly, but the siren call of the scales often calls me to weigh daily. I'm not at all sure it matters. Just remember that scales are evil and they lie! Measure yourself if you haven't already, because often you will find you have lost inches while those evil, lying scales will say your weight hasn't changed!

Cheers.

Rosebud
