I am technically post-menopausal. I have less mood swings, less hot flashes and night sweats, but my brain stopped functioning and I am taking brain supplements. LOL. So if I appear crazy...chances are...
I have read of some women having had very terrible times and mood swings especially with HRT. I know that some people can really struggle with it. I do have some problems, but so far the cure has been worse than the problem itself!!
