Hi Staceylou
I’m so sorry to hear about what you are going through.
I’m currently tapering off HRT due to ADH (so only Pre-cancerous) in the breast.
I can’t recommend at this stage personally except to say that I know with invasive breast cancer you can still take vagifem for vaginal dryness. Not sure about other cancer.
I have been given a probiotic vaginal spray, Femolene and will start the vagifem when I come off the HRT entirely.
Regarding oral supplements I’m also as keen as you are to hear. Before going on HRT I read that no natural things work anything as well as HRT, but what do we do. 🤷🏻♀️
However I know someone who takes gabapentin to regulate sleeping and I think also flushing. It’s a neuro drug which was found to help with meno symptoms as a side effect. Not exactly a supplement but sharing anyhow.
With regards the bloat, I’ve always suffered from this and I can say that since starting intermittent fasting in 2019, I don’t have it mornings, simply because I’m not eating. So at worst I can recommend this for giving your body a little break, even if it comes back. (I do the 16/8 IF).
In your case the bloating isn’t food related but it may still be worth trying.
Did you start the primrose oil and star supplements apart from each other and if so, which seemed to help most?
I’m sure you’ve read this type of article, but we need those who’ve taken some of them to comment.
