[QUOTE="witzend, post: 599921, member: 99"] I am unable to take hormone replacements because of a history of pulmonary embolism. I finally talked to my doctor about getting [I]some sort[/I] of relief, and he prescribed two medications for me, which I use twice a week. One is Vagifem 10 mcg. It is a small tablet about the size of a BC pill. Each one comes sealed with it's own applicator, and you insert it twice a week at bedtime. The other is Premarin cream, which I rub on externally at bedtime, using a dab about the size of a pea. Some doctors will want you to insert a big gob of it but that is a mess. It hasn't totally eliminated my symptoms but it does help. They are hormones, but they don't get into your bloodstream. [/QUOTE]
