Thanks for writing about this and giving others an opportunity to join the conversation. My question is, what do women do when they've been on HRT for 6+ years but still have hot flashes and other physical symptoms. Doctors tell us to stop HRT after 5 or 6 years as it's risky to continue.

Also, we're told we must get good sleep, but this is impossible for those of us who struggle with hot flashes, sleep apnea and other physical issues that disturb rest.

So, what to do?
