Wow, you've been through a lot. Good things have calmed down a bit now. My mom managed to handle her menopause without additional hormones, but she's a stubborn woman ( I remember her moods and flashes.) As i've been fighting anxiety for more than twenty years, I'm afraid that's not going to be my case. I'll be 44 soon and I guess my hormones are not quite all right, although I have no problems with my period yet.
