I was on Premarin at 47 due to a total hysterectomy because of fibroids. I didn't like it, so I went the natural way and it worked well for me. Go to a health food/nutrition store and read about the herbs, Black Cohosh, Wild Yam cream which you rub into your skin, Red Clover, St John's wort for moods. That's was ten years ago, now I don't use anything because the symptoms died down.
Good luck to you,

I went through early menopause due to ovarian failure, I chose not to have HRT due to other issues. I found that with some antidepressants for the brain fog, but just going through it, I only had menopause symptoms for 7 months. I know those that are still having symptoms after a few years and on HRT. I hope this helps
@A MyFibroTeam Member, I too am on Estradiol 1mg and have been for about four years. Doing well.
Loz>= hormones! I cannot due HRT I have had cancer before not a option! But I also have no estrogen left either! I"ll be almost 60 in aug and without our hormones they control a lot of things once gone a host of other issues creep in. I"write more later Loz as I am going into work.. Have a great day🌸🌸🌸it's all related with the fibro it's all intertwined
well if you have Fibromyalgia and are also going through menopause then I say they go together. I had to start on HRT in December I was not sleeping at all and was having terrible night sweats. I have heard Black Cohosh is supposed to be helpful and there is also Maca powder to try, but those didn't help me. Since then the HRT helped a lot and helps me to cope with Fibro better.
