Geri: I know what you mean about HRT. I have been on it for a long long time because I started early menopause. Caused by radiation therapy to my back. I tried to go off of HRT last year and turned into this crazy crying person with hot flashes. I tried several anti depressants and could not tolerate them. So I am taking a lower dose of HRT and praying nothing happens from taking it.
