OMG, my doctors took my Premarin away two years
ago and I’m flashing horribly. I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago and am in my 70s too.
I’m taking black cohosh twice a day and it helps but I’m miserable.
My gynecologist says no more Premarin, use the vaginal cream three times a week or you’ll have a stroke.

I am 70… had a complete hysterectomy in 1997. I tried to go without estrogen and could not. I took lowest dose of Premarin. Then I started having swallowing problems. I asked for a patch and I use Estradiol patches twice a week… forgot what strength. They work and sometimes I forget to change out or one falls off and I do fine. Of course if I start having heart problems or strokes they will not prescribe them… I will just sweat to death. Each time I get the prescription renewed I have to see my gynecologist and have to understand estrogen has risk. …. sigh.
