[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is so weird about this thread is that it is not reflective of what any of the medical experts are saying.

While there are doctors out there screaming that most women should consider HRT, I don’t know of any that are saying it’s not safe and we should go back to 25 years ago. People like Jen Gunter are annoyed that the benefits are overstated, but she has come out and said she thinks FDA black box removal is correct. I’ve read her book The Menopause Manifesto and she clearly supports HRT. What she doesn’t like is the wellness people who also trying to sell supplements and overstate the benefits. But I haven’t seen any credible doctor Say that we need to go back to 25 years ago when there was a chilling effect on HRT.

There are clearly individual doctors who are not comfortable prescribing it to their patients but the researchers and ones on the panels and making the rounds are not saying this so it’s really curious to me why a group of women on the thread really seems so anti-HRT when the medical experts while they may disagree on overall risk and benefits, are not anti-HRT. Some of you seem angry than any women would consider it or being offered it.[/quote]

Seems like you misread this thread. I don't recall any comments being anti-HRT, just anti-misinformation.

There are currently two threads on HRT and both of them get nasty. One person asks oh haven’t you heard any ailment past 40 has to be treated with hormones? I’m sure there are well intended posters here who are against misinformation but there’s a ton of Snark on this thread and the other one.

Give me a break that people are calling out misinformation. People are being rude and they’re definitely seems to be a lot of hostility whenever this topic comes up if women are choosing hormones. There’s also another thread that women are avoiding this topic with their friends because it’s so heated.
