Hi,
I just wanted to say that without my hormones I suffer from anxiety, this is how we worked out that I needed them to begin with. I had a major panic attack and as everything in my life at the time was fine, (apart from ARD pain) my DRs did some blood work and whamo!!! no estrogens was being produced by my ovaries because of adhesions wrapped around them.
I am also on Premarin, and I will now go and seek an alternative... and the hormones when they did kick in where a god send, no more panic attacks.. and the hot flushes etc.. calmed right down. I also got rid of the ovaries that were not working and causing alot of pain... and my pain now is very manageable.
