I don't have any personal experience but the HRT stuff gives me the willies!!! My mom (and my aunt) were on prempro and they both ended up with breast cancer (within a year of each other) and no family history/genetic disposition. I'm convinced that HRT was the contributing factor. Once my mom went off of it she still got hotflashes for a while but rarely complained about them.
I think having a hysterectomy to avoid hotflashes is a bit extreme. Plus "you" wind up instantaneously going into mp and not the gradual process that seems healthier to me. I have had a friend and another aunt suddenly stop menstrating (their version of mp, I guess) and their drs. spent sometime (and drugs) trying to get them "re-started". I suppose that's the reason I think the gradual tapering off of AF is the way to go.
