Dear People,

To start a new tread: why is it that ever-day humor is usually at the expense
of another?

About menopause:
* Real women don't have hot flashes, they have power surges *

Point of interest, there is a bill in Congress, Menopause Outreach,
Research, and Education Act of 1997 (Introduced in the House) [H.R.832] that
instructs the NIH to conduct research, etc.

To add to the data on our collective experiences, I have been taking HRT for
18 years
(hysterectomy) and was diagnosed with PD in 1980. Of course I had the
symptoms earlier.
The point? I wonder how my symptoms and medication level would be affected
if I stopped
taking estrogen?  It's worth a try.

To victory in Washington,
Margaret
