I used tri-est, but not estriol. My new doctor seems to know more about what she is doing. I had so much tissue buildup but I think the progesterone will balance my body and clear the tissue out of my uterine lining. It is better already. I am not as bloated and look and feel better. I too, hope the the Wyeth execs rot in hell. I will do what I can do be politically active on this front. The affront on health freedom from Big Pharma infuriates me. Find out what else Wyeth sells, like OTC"s. Let them know you will no longer buy even those products. The FDA is useless and follows the money.

Wyeth makes the synthetic hormone, prempro, a drug found to cause cancer and heart disease in the WHI study published in JAMA July 2002. Wyeth has lost 2 billion in sales since millions of women have switched away from the Wyeth product to compounded bioidentical hormones, a safer and more effective alternative. Wyeth wants to use the FDA to eliminate its competition. The problem is that the FDA does not regulate compounded bioidentical hormones, the states do the regulation. And the FDA's actions have only demonstrated that the agency is completely inept and corrupted by special interest groups in the drug industry.

WYETH are busy giving women breast cancer, heart problems etc with their poisonous synthetic hormones, and are now worried stiff about their cash bottom line as they increasingly lose out to natural remedies!! In addition, the claims they make re osteoporosis are flawed - may WYETH execs rot in hell - or at least get the diseases they are conning women into. Yes, men can get breast cancer! Puleeeeze!!

You’re fortunate. If you can get rid of the hot flashes, then you’ll sleep better, which in turn corrects a lot of other problems that result from sleep deprivation and - bottom line - you feel better overall.

The former eases hot flashes. The latter, when taken and then stopped, keeps the uterine lining from building up. They work for me, without any side effects I can detect (in the right doses).
