I think I understand what you’re asking. I was on Hormone replacement therapy and loved them too. I had a very mild to no menopause symptoms ( I was 60- now 61). Found breast cancer at mammogram, I had lumpectomy on left breast and reconstructive surgery on both. A second surgery due to missing margins. 15 days radiation, then started anastozole(sp) - put me in a tale spin mentally and physically. Took a vacation from it and took about a month to get right. I am a low dose of duloxetine to help with anxiety. I started a new AI exemestane and is agreeing better with my body. I am going to acupuncturist to help with joint aches, sleep issues and fatigue. I also do a healthy yoga and a. Breathing yoga. I’m doing well- but it’s a “new” normal. Acupuncture was a game changer. Ask me other questions if you need to.
