[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend doing some research before finding a provider - there are a lot of charlatans in this area. For example, there’s no need to test hormone levels, let alone do regular testing of them. HRT does not actually replace hormones, but is used to treat symptoms. Your hormone levels are not that useful because that doesn’t account for how well your hormone receptors are functioning. Also, most physicians will give you bad advice about vitamins, telling you that you don’t need them because your levels are “normal” but the fact is that menopausal women function better with higher levels of D and iron, for example. But if you go to a naturopath, they will often try to sell you high priced supplements, which can be sketchy.[/quote]

Ah, ok, you got your MD from where?

As a woman with PCOS I absolutely need my hormones tested regularly. Take your BS and go somewhere else.[/quote]

Not every woman has PCOS.  Think PP was speaking more generally about women going through menopause.

I never understand why posters such as yourself, who have a specific condition, come out guns blazing in  a post like this.  You could have simply said, in a nice way, that an exception to the PPs recommendation would be woman with PCOS.  Instead, you have to go nasty.  People like you ruin threads where people are nicely trying to exchange information.  It is possible to educate without being a jerk about it.

Jeez.[/quote]

Woman don’t always have to express themselves nicely. How sexist of you. [/quote]

Nope.  It says "posters", not women. Not confined to menopause threads.  This kind of BS happens on all kinds of health-related threads.  People should express themselves nicely unless you have good cause, regardless of sex. The PP got all huffy for no reason.  [/quote]
