I can't say that I had a difficult transition, except for the hot flashes and night sweats. There were days when I had so many 'power surges' I just wanted to scream!! On the plus side, I didn't have to fight with my SO over the temperature in the house - I was always cold; he was always hot; now I'm just as hot as he is!! LOL

I did try the bioidentical hormones for a year or so; then switched to herbal remedies, some of which didn't work. I found that taking a combination helped more than any one by itself. All I can say, Dancer, is hang in there - it will pass.
