[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t trust anything RFK jr or trump says. This FDA is currently SUS so I’m seeing this as a red flag. If they promote it, I should not consider it. 
If it was legitimately safe, Melania should have made the announcement. Woman to women. 
I’ll wait until we have actual medical experts back in the FDA before I trust their advice. [/quote]

Wow - you would have given it more credence out of Melania’s mouth? That’s moronic.

HRT has enabled me to sleep through the night regularly for the first time in a year. Game changer.[/quote]

And has increased your risk of stroke and cancer. [/quote]

Well, my thyroid stopped working in my 20s and I need thyroid replacement hormone for the rest of my life to function because my body doesn’t make thyroid hormone anymore.  Does that raise my risk of stroke and cancer?  I don’t know, maybe.  But I’d rather die than live half dead.  I don’t see how it’s different with progesterone and estrogen.  [/quote]

You don’t see how thyroid hormones and estrogen/progesterone are different? Ok. [/quote]

They are both hormones our bodies need  (as females).  Women are 3-4 times "healthier" and at less risk for serious issues that typically kill men (think heart attack/stroke/etc), until we go thru menopause.  Then our rates skyrocket and we become "very unhealthy" because the lack of hormones.  Get on the proper hormones and you can be happier and healthier in many ways.

I don't want to live from early 50s until 85/90 without those hormones.  With them, I'll take the risks that might come (of which apparently they are minimal).  Most of you take way more risks with drinking and eating crap and not exercising, yet don't care to change that

Are you under the impression you will take HRT until you are 95?[/quote]

Not at all.  But if the 10 years I can take it helps me live to 95 and be happy and less likely to fall and break a hip, I'm all for it.  If it also means I can have sex without feeling like someone is rubbing sandpaper in my vagina, despite the entire tube of lube I have used, then yes it means I will weigh the choices.  And being happy is a huge part of being healthy as well.
