[quote=Anonymous][quote]A lot of old, bad science on here. The connection to cancer has been found when people start HRT long after menopause, like 5 to 10 years later. If you start in peri, or just after your last period, it seems to have significant protective effects against dementia, and that is why I am taking it. If you feel that you have brain fog, aphasia, less short term recall, etc. that’s for a reason...your brain is significantly altered without estrogen, and studies seem to show that a rapid decline from estrogen to no estrogen can actually cause irreversible damage. There’s a reason rates of Alzheimer’s are so much higher among women, but most science in general focuses in men, not in the unique role that hormones play in a woman’s body.[/quote]

There are definitely serious health risks associated with hormone therapy.  For example, anyone already at increased risk of clotting should never consider it (and no reputable doctor would prescribe it to someone in that situation).[/quote]
