Has Black Cohosh or Red Clover helped sweats?

<< < (6/7) > >>

CLKD:
How large are the risks though?

Jaki T:
I don't know, but there is some risk and because of my history of bp it's not a risk I'm happy to take

CLKD:
Did your GP not tell you the exact risks  :-\ - they are sometimes good at picking problems out of the air without being explicit!

Jaki T:
Hi CLKD

No, I said I was worried about increased risk of clots and strokes etc because of my past experience on the pill and my GP said there was a slight risk. I know it's probably low but I have to take into account my previous bp problems and also the fact that I'm thirty years older now and bp is more at risk when you're older.

CLKD:
Your GP should have discussed this further with you  >:( not fobbed you off with 'small risk'. 

However  ::)
