Oh she did not have HRT etc due to hot flashes - they were the least of her issues. She was very hormonally imbalanced, almost committed, had severe menses, passes many blood clots, couldn't sleep, etc, etc, etc....I am not promoting HRT whatsoever. The treatment did return her to at least a sane person. My worry is I will follow her in her footsteps as we are so alike- and I am not interested in losing my sanity. What I thought was interesting is I assumed she actually was hormonally imbalanced, then treated, then hit menopause much later. She is thinking that she was hormonally imbalanced and approaching menopause and that while the HRT did restore her balance, it postponed menopause - where she would have hit it at least a decade, if not more, earlier.
