OMG the great HRT debate ! I don’t know what to do either . I recently saw a specialist.. very good one who knew his stuff we don’t get too much help from Docter’s in our 10 minute appointment do we .I’m 61 have been on hrt for 8 years tryed to come off it many times by dropping a tablet a week or taking every other day going on a lower dose etc etc . The thing is I feel great on I . Everybody comments how young I look, I exercise daily because I have boundless enery , sleep like s baby , happy , horny , no sweats or aching bones , no soreness down there etc . Well 6 weeks ago the shortage stopped my supply . I was briefly put on something completely different that I stopped as I was bloated and depressed . Luckily I had already made an appointment to see specialist as I was so confused about all the conflicting health reports . He said I should still take it as so many benefits . More risks from drinking wine , smoking and being overweight. I have had nothing for 6 weeks and have been ugly and moody , had water infections , not sweats can’t sleep anxiety etc etc . I feel like an insufficient old lady ! Hoping it will settle . But still can’t decide with this latest news
