@gravity3 Hi there. My cardiologist is very confident with HRT replacement after finishing up my Tymlos. My rheumatologist wants me to begin Reclast infusion, so I’m researching and weighing my risks and benefits from both. I know I need HRT for my girlie parts for sure because I have suffered for years with vaginal atrophy so that will be a plus. But I would like the least amount of medication to maintain the gains I’ve had with Tymlos. I will have another Dexa scan next month and will see if the additional months on this med made a difference. I had a Dexa in Nov after being on Tymlos for 18 months but my doc approved for me to continue to the 24th month. Hoping there will be more gains.
I know it will take a couple of months for me to notice a difference with the HRT so I’m hoping I will feel the difference in my sleep, energy, sex, moods, etc. My doc says I will. Have a great weekend!

All of my "aging" problems occured after stopping HRT. I did Bio-Identical HRT for 8 or 10 years. I did it topically (rubbing it into the skin.) It worked GREAT for me. For all the "girlie" problems - to maintain skin, muscles and bones. Hormones keep us youthful. However, I had to balance cancer risks with estrogen products so the bioidenticals were the answer - to be compounded in the proportions I needed. The first year was finding the right combo of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in the right amounts. I was very pleased. It was a bit of a struggle to get it all in place. But I used so little every day that it wasn't expensive (I had to pay out of pocket). Kept EVERYTHING in the right balance. I highly recommend it!

@dooshie just to be clear, while my Reclast dose will be lower, it will also be more frequent. Much depends on how I react (my first infusion is this week) and the doctor leaves the dose and timing up to me, as long as it meets his guidelines for effectiveness. He gives me parameters and I appreciate both his guidance and his caution. I have afib and kidney disease so the suggestion of lower dose came from the doctor.
