Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Is shaking a symptom of chemical menopause?

I had a a radical hysterectomy and Oophorectomy (bilateral) to treat endometriosis on 11/16/2006, and I’ve been getting some symptoms since then — especially chills and sweats (not just at night). I was assured that this was common in people with surgical menopause, so I have just been trying to figure out how to deal with the symptoms. The last few weeks I have been getting fits of shaking/ trembling that are most common when I first wake after a long sleep. Sometimes, it is so severe that I can’t get up without risking falling. I have asked my doctors about it, but they seem unimpressed, and I’m not sure if I should be either.

That’s weird. See a neurologist. And for gosh’s sake, switch from Premarin to something better for your health, like estrogen patches. Transdermal estrogen delivered by patch is much better for you than oral estrogen from horses. Transdermal doesn’t have the risks of oral, such as problems with cardiovascular health, potential clotting risks interference with other hormones such as thyroid and testosterone, and fewer headaches.

What are the risks of hormone replacement therapy?
