Guest guest Posted April 19, 1996 Report Share Posted April 19, 1996 (Kyla- could not get you on your e-mail for some reason. )Hi Kyla: I first began to have symptoms of RA and osteoarthritis in fact after I had a hysterectomy in 1986. I did not begin hormone replacement treatment/therapy because of a breast cancer risk due to my aunt and my Mother having breast cancer. I got along better well for about 6 yrs in fact, then my joints began to hurt, lack of mobility, etc. swelling and osteo came first then diagnosed with Ra Dec. 1998. So yes, I think it does play a part. Thanks for mentioning this concept. I need to be on premarin (hormone estrogen) however, it makes me feel bad, headaches, legs hurting. I do have some risk of thrombosis, so I am not on it. I need to once again talk to my gyn. dr. about this. Thanks. Let me know how things are going and I will you too. I am off to work, barely going; first to the ent for sinus problems! I have plebitis now, should stay at home. But because of recent hospitalization due to pneumonia/asthma, I have no more days off!. Take care. Martha of St. Augustine, Fl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
