“My doctor says I have some of the worst symptoms he’s
ever heard about. I need help—the hot flashes are pretty bad,
and the night sweats are even worse—but I’m going to
hold out for the right treatment.”
"Enough."

The solution for Alice?
“I’m not new to all this. But I’m also a long way from
old! I plan to stay healthy, and I won’t take just anything—it
has to be something I can live with.”
“A lotion? As I’ve gotten older, my skin has gotten drier,
so I already moisturize. If it’s soy-based...and the estrogen’s
the same as my body used to make...I should feel comfortable using it every
day.”
“I’m going to talk with my doctor
about Estrasorb.”
Estrasorb—Feel
good again.
