Is there anyone out there that has had positive outcome without taking hormone replacement therapy after surgical menopause? I'm currently on the vivelle dot patch and just started taking dhea because of things I've read online and wonder if I'm doing more harm then good? I have read so much about hrt...natural versus synthetic...who knows what's right and what's wrong...the best advise...even better than a doctor's would be someone who has had experiences of their own...anyone out there like that?????? Please...if you have any advise...let me know...thanks...
