    Yes, you are so right. I am totally intolerant to systemic HRT. Every time I've tried to use HRT, my mild asthma plays up, and my chest gets tighter and tighter, and have to stop it, even though I've suffered the worst mental health symptoms for 5 years so far, since my hysterectomy. Apparently, research says that female hormones play a detrimental role in asthma, whereby male hormones seem to have the opposite effect.
