Hi Sorry this is not really a new Post but I need some info on coming off the patch.I have read the postsby MaryO and the other ladies very interesting.I would like to stopERT,I asked my family doc who said ask the OB/GYN who when I saw him I didn't as there was a resident doc who told me to just STOP taking it.I am confused and a little concerned as when I stopped April 2000 cold turkey my hair shed like crazy as a result  I lost about 65%of my hair it is still falling out and I have NO REGROWTH.I was on Premarin then I changed to a plant estrogen(oral)had lots of nasty side effects,thats why I stopped,so my doc advised me to go back on this time try the patch worked very well but hasn't helped my hair so now I would like to stop all ERT and see if it helps my poor hair to be off ERT.I know hair likes estrogen.I do still have my ovaries.Sorry this is soooooo long,hope it makes sense,hope somone can HELP.Thanks
