I was talking with my mom after I had my hysterectomy and told her I took Premarin for the hormones. She didn't know what I was talking about so I told her about the hot flashes and night sweats. She went through the change in her late 40's and didn't notice anything different except no periods. She has never taken hormones of any kind and didn't have any of the other symptoms.
Wish I could have gone through the change instead of the hysterectomy, maybe I would have followed in her footsteps with no symptoms. But I am glad the periods are gone and only one little pill a day keeps the other stuff away....
