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.
