If I wasn't put on hormone therapy back in 1986, I swear I think I would have actually KILLED someone! It was the most horrible feeling in my life. I blew up at the smallest things. I'd sit on my bed at night and cry over how bad I was to my kids, husband and anyone else that crossed my path that day. I would ask God to please help me be a better person and not to get angry at my boys. The next day I would be trying like the devil to be nice, but boy the rage would explode before I even know what happen. I was finally ask by a good friend to go have a blood test done to see if I was low in hormones. LOW.........HAHA........I had NONE!!! About a week of being on Premarin, (now I'm on prempro, lowest dosage) I started feeling human. I can't believe how it made me feel like a new person, and NO temper AT ALL. It was then that I realized age makes no difference at all. I must have needed hormones for years. You can be low in hormones at ANY age. My life (and probably someone else's life was saved)
