My doc doesn't believe in such diagnoses.(complicated explanation) I can tell you that the spit hit the fan during perimenopause with physical and emotional ups and downs and sideways and I have embraced HRT. I have always consumed large quantities of soy products-I even made my own tofu! It just didn't help me. What I'm taking now is plant based and that eases my mind somewhat. HRT alleviated the physical symptoms, but I've had a time trying to get a good mix of drugs to control mood difficulties.
