program on now about HRT needs of GGs with hot flushes after menopause.
GG is getting the red flush while filming.
she had six years of HRT but stopped when found a breast lump.
medic now says to eat soya and chick peas which both have plant estrogens.
more later.
she said she ate a lot of curries and red wine but medics said to cut down.
gave her a wrist monitor to press each time she felt the flush.
9 weeks on flushes much better. Down from 1-2 an hour to 1 a day.
Says feels much better and looks lots better skin.
so natural plant estrogens do have some good effects.
I actually started transition with herbals and was quite pleased with results and only went to Premarin as recommended by doctor who had no experience of MtFs.
