[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not on it. 56. Athletic and look young for my age. I had some annoying symptoms (more joint/shoulder pain, different body parts), but no sleep issues and no hot flashes.

It all disappeared as soon as I was 1 year passed last period (a few months ago) and I’ve had more energy than ever.

Feeling looking great with no HRT. [/quote]

Same. I have a healthy diet and have always exercised, cardio and weights 6 days per week. I added magnesium supplements, that cured any sleep issues.

I don’t have any issues. I struggled the one transition year with some shoulder and then lower back pain—but as soon as I hit the full year without a period I felt the best I have in years.  More energy than ever.

I’m worried if I did HRT the hormones would mess me up. I never did good with hormonal birth control—bloating, moods, etc. so I prefer to not take any HRT.

We have strong bones and hearts in my family—no cardiac issues or osteoporosis or Alzheimer’s.  So I’m not worried about taking it for those issues. [/quote]

Yep. Hormones make me gain weight. I always lost weight when stopping the Pill. I had to on progesterone for insane bleeding and stopped it after 3 months—made me bloated, irritable and gained weight. Thankfully, when I went off periods stopped altogether.

I feel and look great at 56 without any. [/quote]
