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.

I’ve been active on both threads and there was only one poster who was out of control, and that was the “pro-HRT”
lady saying someone she disagreed with should be assaulted with a bag of citrus fruit. [/quote]

You’re a liar. [/quote]

maybe the posts got deleted but there were some very deranged ones. [/quote]

Why can no one who is so against HRT have a conversation that isn’t nasty? You all stay on these threads coming in with attacks and sneering about getting medical advice from social media even when people explain they haven’t. It’s every thread. Why do you do this? Are you doctors or oncologists?

What is the primary issue you have with other women consulting with their own physicians?[/quote]
I think they feel like they are more virtuous, superior beings and must school us in any way possible.

But sorry, crazy person who is mad I take HRT. It helped ME. No amount of you posting here changes that I was in pain one year ago and that pain is gone. I wasn’t sleeping one year ago and now I do.

Maybe invest some energy into positive action instead of being a jerk here. What goes around, comes around. You’re setting yourself up for the itchiest ears and 3 AM wake-ups with the bad attitude. [/quote]

Nobody GAF that you personally take HRT. Maybe you need to reflect a little if you are taking general commentary and discussion of the (real) risks of HRT as a personal insult. [/quote]

Why do you - not a doctor - think that you have any cause to GAF about what a woman does on the advice of her doctor? You can’t answer that. Why?[/quote]

That is literally what I said. I don’t GAF about what you personally do. [/quote]

No. You’re so dishonest. You are going after her so intensely. Why? She is presenting her own life. She is not taking anything too personally - she is explaining her own path to using this medication. I’m not her, though for sure you’ll flip and say some bullshit. What is the issue you have with women discussing their decision to use HRT, particularly where they’re well informed regarding which symptoms can realistically be treated? Particularly since almost anyone on it and reading here has obviously gotten the rx well before Makary and the black box issue.

What exactly is your problem?[/quote]

Side effect of HRT: poor reading comprehension

[/quote]

You’re both such truly disgusting aholes.

Again - what’s the problem with women using HRT? What case do you mistakenly think you’re making with your trolling?[/quote]

You are trolling and getting it back in return. That’s how it works. [/quote]

I’m not trolling. Please grow up.

It’s entirely legitimate to ask why you and yours keep attacking women who use HRT as ill informed or getting advice from SM. Why?[/quote]

Nobody is attacking you personally. We are having a discussion about the risks and benefits of HRT, whether the RFK FDA is trustworthy. [/quote]

No one is attacking you, FFS.

The hysterics seem forced at this point.

[/quote]

You need to calm down and try to be a bit less agitated and nasty.  There are no “hysterics.” There is discussion by women prescribed a regimen well before RFK was put into this position, using these same medications, and explaining what their physicians thought of the current conversations about the old WHI study.

You’re still totally unable to engage with the question as to why it concerns you when other women get prescribed HRT. Keep having your fit.

[/quote]

Wow. So much projection.  :lol:

As has been explained multiple times, no one GAF if you take HRT. It really seems like you’re trolling at this point.
