Hi<br>I hope that I have this in the right section <p>I have a question regarding hormone replacement . My mom had a hysterectomy about 8 years ago and has been taking premerin ever since. At a recent visit to her doctor he told her that she would have to ween off them because of the risk involved with taking them longer than 5 yrs ( kind of late to tell her now in my opinion). She has always struggeled with her weight 200+ at only 5' Tall. I have been trying to get her to go low carb since I started in July but it's a hard sell with her, even seeing my results. She has low fat so ingrained.<p> ok, so here is my question at last. <br> She really is not liking the effects of coming off the pills, hot flashes, mood swings etc. Has anyone had an improvement in these kind of symptoms after starting low carb?? This just might be the thing that finally gets her to try. <p> Thanks for the help, hoping to finally convince her that this WOE will make her feel so much better.<br>Eden
