Re: HRT (hormone replacement therapy)

February 11, 2004

Hi,

I have missed the first part of this discussion & am sorry....I see a

wonderful geneticist at s Hopkins & another at NIH....both have

reccomended that I remain on HRT forever because of having EDS & it's

collagen damage. I had asked about stopping taking premarin, and they were

adament about comtinuing it.

By accident, I ran out once and didn't take it for about ten days -

LOL, my husband asked me to PLEASE not let that happen again! By the way, I

have been taking it since 1993 when I first became symptomatic with

change-of-life symptoms. It's true-discuss it with your physician and

determine what is best for YOU!

Sue, can you tell me what they believe hormone replacement therapy

does for EDS? I know some believe it can help with osteoporosis,

which I have, but I was questioning the risks of HRT with the

benefits it gives. I already take Actonel for the Osteoporosis. Any

advice you can give would be helpful to me in making a decision on

whether or not to stop HRT. Thanks!

Love Lana
