Hi Silverlady
I am new to this board and will briefly describe my situation. I was peri-meno 4 years ago and put on Prempak (lowest dose) due to unbearable sweats, bad temper, insomnia, awful periods etc. (male Dr's wife was my age and understood exactly what my husband and I were going through). When I turned 55 I decided I wanted to come off it. Nearly 8 weeks now and I take menopace, menosan, sage drops, evening primrose oil, Vit D (I live in the very far north of Scotland and take Vit D every winter). I also have chronic back pain which has definitley become much, much worse since stopping HRT so Dr prescribed 10/20 mg amatryptaline (I think that's the name). 3 weeks ago I bought progesterone cream on-line (well known brand) and all in all I think everything is working ok. Worse things are hot flushes (about 10 in 24 hours), back pain (had x-ray, several Dr appointments but seems to be arthritis) and crying at the drop of a hat. I'm feeling good right now but on a daily basis my good/bad is about 40/60 - I'm interested in Boron and you say you take 3mgs - where do you get this from and what are the main benefits you find (I did read your link , thank you)
Sorry this is so long but I feel quite isolated with no female family members at all,
