[quote=Anonymous]I consulted with one of the MDs referred to in the NYT article - I have not listened to The Daily. I was able to make an appointment with her a few weeks after I read the article.

Someone posting here is a real liar, so I’ll clear up some misinformation.  There is no “push” by anyone to use HRT. I was required to be wholly up to date on all basic bloodwork, to have a Pap and a mammogram, and to test a couple of other things before my consult with the physician. Further, I gave comprehensive health history that obviously particularly included my mother’s relevant health history, and filled out a massive questionnaire regarding symptoms. The consult itself was an hour, with options laid out. As I still menstruate, a low-dose birth control pill was ultimately what I decided in with her advice and recommendation, and I’m set to check in after being on the pill for 3 months, to see what’s abated. I’m not there yet.

Anyone who thinks the above describes a pill-pushing practice is straight crazy. There is nothing immoderate or unreasonable about my approach, and shame on people who try to scare other women for no legitimate reason. [/quote]
