Was it HRT, the pill or steroids which brought about the proliferation for you?
Yes, I think for me estrogen has been a major problem.. I got very overweight and tired, just before menopause... very estrogenic, large breasts, big hips, and lots of worms.
I've lost heaps of weight since menopause hit and I've stopped HRT and replaced it with DHEA, lots of zinc and MSM.
I feel better, but still have the creepies up my neck some Ascaris and/or other creatures in my decending colon I can feel - but not as painful...
