[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t wait to watch GenX and older millennial women fully stay in the game over their middle and old age as they finally get treatment that helps symptoms.

There’s not much that’s more awesome than vigorous, confident, healthy older women.[/quote]

You know, based on some of the sourceless, irrational pushback on this thread, i don’t think all women actually want this healthier vision for themselves or for their peers. I wouldn’t have thought it before, but I do now. [/quote]

So, lots of women never take HRT and are vigorous, confident, and healtly older women, staying in the game. Taking HRT doesn't stop aging or put one on some sort of higher plane. We're all going to get old![/quote]

So, this is weirdly defensive.[/quote]

I don't think so. The first post was ridiculously aggressive and incorrectly suggested that without HRT older women cannot be "vigorous, confident, healthy older women." That is just wrong. Some people write as if menopause is the same for everyone or that not doing HRT dooms you, so PP and others are simply adding another perspective that is possible for many women (like me). Alternate perspectives based on personal experience are not "defensive," so you needn't feel threatened by them. Example: My MIL finds hot flashed horrifying, while I barely notice them on the rare occasion I experience them. It just isn't the same for everyone. That's all.[/quote]
