Hi <p>I just wanted to say thank you Ladies for your caring responses. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've looked in but I'm having computer problems <p>I guess I will have to do some research in this area, I have to admit I know very little about HRT. My mom is now taking her pills every second day...then every third etc. until she weens off completely. We live in a small community and I would bet my life that she won't see another doctor...and to be honest I think I would rather see her off the pills and have a grumpy mom than put her health at risk by continuing to take them long term ...ya know?<p> I will definately take your advise and look into some of the natural suppliments and tell her to ask her doctor about other options. Again thank you,it is very much appreciated<P>Eden
