Thanks for your reply honeybun. I'm hoping they will help with not sleeping, terrible moods etc, period all over the place, then when I come on really heavy, body aches, very dry down below this feels awful! dr did give me hrt in pill form but this caused digestive problems, I have tried prempak and cyclo-prognova, I went back asking for something for the vaginal dryness and doctor suggested to try patches first...............
