Judith, After the first report about HRT and PD I copied the article for both my neuro and my gp. They both agreed that it was worth a try and in fact my neuro was very interested. He also deals with Alzheimer's patients and had heard that HRT was helpful for women in that disorder. Since I began on my mild therapy I have found that there are fewer "off" days and I can count on my pd meds working throughout the month. I would love to hear from other women about their experiences with their cycle, HRT, birth control, and PD symptoms. Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
