NOT on yam, shithead. Got hollered at by my doctor for using transdermal OTC estrogen/progesterone replacements but I was totally dysfunctional -- whatever. The shit I'm on comes from a compounding pharmacy and I get my blood tested every three months.
One of the symptoms I had was menopause arthritis, it's freaking gone. What a total mind fuck, seriously. The libido thing is almost like, okay, that makes sense but that much widespread body pain gone, just like that ... it's still got me completely flabbergasted.
