Hi, thanks for your response. My doctor's form letter that we received, listed 5 doctors that we could contact. That gives me about 12 months to find someone who will give a 74 year old woman an estrogen prescription. I believe that is going to be a needle in a haystack but have started looking around. For me personally, my excellent long term health depends on getting a prescription but I find it funny that most doctors who would be likely to give me a prescription, are around my age and they all are retiring. Further, I think my medical situation is something that younger doctors are not familiar with and I don't think they want to jeopardize their medical license prescribing estrogen to a 74 year old women. I don't think the medical community is fully aware of how many senior citizen women are taking estrogen. However, given this enormous task, I am ready for the challenge.
