I was suffering very badly with hot flushes, in fact I had one every 20 minutes 24/7. I did not want to take HRT so I tried various herbal remedies which at the time made significant improvement. However, I had to have major surgery on my spine and after a few months noticed that the hot flushes and night sweats returned with a vengeance. I was working at the time in a very stressful environment and of course stress only made symptoms worse. Against my better judgement and out of sheer desperation I took HRT for about a year, but in my heart I knew it was not right.
One day I was reading a magazine and came across an article about Dr John Lee and natural progesterone, I knew then that I had to read his book “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause”. I read it from cover to cover and it made the greatest sense. I then decided to wean myself off HRT which I did over a period of approx. 2 months. I then went on a mission to find out where I could get natural progesterone and finally came across Judy Evans. I ordered the natural progesterone and my hot flushes gradually disappeared and I felt much calmer and I know it helped me through a very difficult few years. Twelve years later and I am still using natural progesterone and would not want to be without it.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Judy for all her help over the years. I have telephoned her many times with a query or problem and she has always been very gracious and offered help and advice.
