For many years I have used a hormone patch called Vivelle.  The patch was recommended to me over a pill because I have migraines.  I recently tried to switch to a bioidentical hormone pill and immediately began having migraines and feeling very sick.  I am curious if there are bioidentical hormone patches?!!

Hi Marla,

Did this patch have estrogen/progesterone and testosterone in it? According to Suzanne Somers Book Breakthrough- The doctor said that hormones have to be genlty balanced. A longevity doctor should take the tests to see what hormones you are deficient and then make recommendations.  They monitor how they "make you feel". Her book is quite an eye opener. Have you seen how beautiful she is at 63?? Amazing.

God bless you,

Sandy

In Christiane Northrup's book The Wisdom of Menopause page 155 it says it is a estrogen bioidentical patch, you also have to take some form of progesterone and testosterone.
