Hassles that cost me my health, my relationship and my mental health for six long years. It began in 1995. I had been slim and healthy all of my adult life except for contacting Cervical Cancer when I was 33years old. This resulted in my Cervix and womb being removed leaving intact my ovaries.In my 48th year trouble began. I owned a Hire Business and to keep fit had taken up a weights routine with my business partner and best friend. I should have been slimming down and toning up as she was but I got really big really quickly without increasing my food intake.Then the hot flashes and crawling skin began to surface in the evenings, my mood swings were terrible and my libido packed its bags and left, leaving me  moody, overheated with crawly skin and unable to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time.

These patches did give me relief from the night sweats and crawling skin but my sleeping got worse and the tears came more often. I was unbearable to live with Then came a break through.

I was lucky enough to find a site called health-science.com
A site run by Dr John Lee who
specialised in treating menopause problems with a natural product called Progesterone.This is administered in cream form which is rubbed into various places on the body twice daily. I located a source for the cream and although expensive I felt better within a few days.I was to find out that I had too much estrogen and the HRT was giving me more estrogen and making my symptoms worse but the prgesterone cream acted as a salve to the estrogen and my symptoms slowly started to recede. My immune system improved and my health got a lot better. I gradually got the extra weight off and the tears, moods, itchy skin have all disappeared. My mental health is a lot better, in fact I now look at life in a more positive ligh
