[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]

NP and I’ve suffered from severe migraines since I’ve been a teen. They have been better controlled in the past 10 years with daily migraine meds and an IUD.  BC and hormone regulation has always been needed since they have been directly tied to my periods.

I’m 50, and they drastically dropped these past couple of years since I’ve been going through and in menopause. I am not planning on taking HRT unless it’s really needed for other reasons. The IUD comes out in a couple years and maybe, after menopause is done, I can finally be without migraines for the first time. [/quote]
