[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gaslighting and internalized misogyny in this thread is crazy. I had to stop reading.

I have to assume these are younger women who haven’t experienced peri telling people lifestyle changes will fix symptoms. This forum tends to attract healthy, active people. Stop assuming we’re causing peri with our diet and workouts.

This.  I was a young, healthy, active person who did yoga and did all of the right things.  I wasn't yet even in peri when I got diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer.  I then had to go through ovarian suppression injections and an aromatase inhibitor, sending me immediately into full menopause.  I still continued doing all of the right things with respect to diet, exercise, and self care.  I can pretty confidently say that the hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, migraines, and all of that junk are from the lack of hormones and not from any need for lifestyle changes.  [/quote]

true but as you likely know, HRT isn’t necessarily the answer to that. [/quote]
It’s literally not an answer for me, due to the cancer.  I’d hope that most people weigh the risks of the HRT vs their misery and make the choice that works best for them.  If a woman decides that HRT is the right choice for her, who are you to judge?[/quote]
