<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Any woman that has cd have any problems using hormone replacement and if what kind? What kind hormone replacement do you use? Also I am having being use the alora patch, now the doctor wants me to use evista. but this seems to make hot flashes worse and sleep problems . I also take synthyroid and I have seen where you have to be careful taking hormone with synthyroid pills. For the ones who have been following my problems for the past months, things are getting better, the glyset medicine for blood sugar seems to help, go back to the doctor Wednesday for another checkup. I did eat a salad at Applebee's and drink decaf coffee and eat some chocolate ice cream. Felt very good yesterday and did not think this would have bother me. Last night I had to go to the bathroom with my kidneys all night and felt like I was either burning or hot flushes. Had upset stomach and nausea today. Feeling better tonight. Even my medicine ambien for sleep did not help. Could I have gotten into some gluten at Applebee's. Since I have had problems for the past several months, it seem the least little thing I may eat that there is a possibility of gluten makes me real sick and my potassium go down real quick. I do take potassium pills and try to drink a lot of liquids when this happen. Any suggestions? Just need to talk to someone, it gets so frustrating at times, especially when you have several good days. Can ambien be a problem for a long period of time and has anyone being on it for a long time. Dianne
