Oh, so um, well, everyone's stopping it, so I assumed you were as well.
Considering the health risks associated with taking horse urine everyday (also called "Premarin" and "Prempro") HRT is widely critized among the med community now.
Horse urine is definitely not going to help your libido, there's absolutely no science in that. As far as horse urine therapy goes, it's advised that replacing it with walking 25 minutes a day is going to get the same effect.
So I really don't see the need in HRT. Exercise would certainly have more science backing in than horse urine does.

I havc been on all the psych drugs and still feel lousey and can barely work. recently I saw a well known gyn-endocronoligist and he states that most symptoms 0f low libido and low estrogen are due to the need for supplemental estrogen and tesrogen. Certainly, his checklist of low estrogen fits me to a "T". Are there any doctors or others out there who can speak to this issue. I am so tired of being a guinea pig and not feeling well
