[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS menopause is not a disease any more than puberty is. A lot of the resources people spend on unproven woo would be better directed to education and destigmatization. Saying that everyone with menopause is hormone deficient is like saying prepubertal children are hormone deficient. Menopause is a natural lifecycle transition for 100% of women on earth.[/quote]

Tell me you aren't in menopause without telling me you aren't in menopause.[/quote]

DP.  Don't be so touchy.  That PP is correct.  Menopause is what our bodies are supposed to do.  If you choose to take estrogen, that's a choice but it's not a "natural" therapy.[/quote]

DP.  The first PP's post is very aggressive starting with "FFS".  Basically dismissing the women on this thread as complainers.  Sounds like a lot of the dismissive doctors out there.  So, yeah, people are touchy and FFS they get to be.  Menopause has been understudied and there simply isn't enough good support for women when --YES this happens to ALL women--.  So WHY don't we get more support from our healthcare system?

I don't know what you are on about with your "natural" nonsense, but the idea that all women, with the variety and range of severity in symptoms different women can have, should just struggle though it without any intervention if intervention is available is...stupid.  FFS indeed.

OP started out saying that she wasn't looking for hrt.  Then some posters told her that she was wrong, that the appropriate treatment for menopause is hrt when that's not accurate.  It is a possible treatment but not the only treatment or the best treatment.  [/quote]
OP: exactly right. I am looking for all other aspects like chronic inflammation, joints health, cholesterol, etc supplements.
Sadly this turned into a fight between HRT supporters and refusers. The fight is not surprising to me giving the platform, but why HRT supporters are so aggressive? 
Is it an underlying fear of HRT long term side effects, or the fact that their complaints were not taking seriously enough in the medical community?
