A close friend started on the patch to combat menopause symptoms & within the year she was diagnosed with estrogen caused breast cancer. I’m sure it has helped many women without consequences but that was my sole association. I had night sweats, hot flashes & mood swings during menopause but used a supplement called PreMenses that helped. I also stopped drinking really hot drinks, like coffee & tea ( I let them cool or added cold milk) & gave up spicy foods. All of which helped a lot. As did little ice packs on the back of my neck, if at home.
Thank you for commenting, Peggy! When was your friend on the patch? I believe there have been a lot of changes over the years. But then again, this is why I am asking everyone b/c there are as many stories as people!
