Interesting. I’d love to learn more about what she thinks your risks are, as we sound quite similar, and none of my doctors want me on it despite how much I wanted to go on it. I’m 65 and 17 years post menopause, and you are 67 and 14 years post menopause. I’m quite healthy except for osteoporosis. There is a history of heart problems in my family though and because of my rising cholesterol my cardiologist has scheduled a CT scan to check my arteries. I guess that is the same test you are getting? Or is it a different one? I’m not familiar with heart stuff as I’ve had no need to know:)

@lynn59 I believe the test I will have is a Coronary Artery Calcium Score test. This was offered as an optional additional test to check for plaque buildup. I have no history of heart problems either. The ND was very happy with my BP, weight, LDL cholesterol and A1c results and asked about mammograms which I had done the following day and was fine. She did say there was a slight increased risk of dementia in my age category, but Dr. Osieki on OsteoBoston video never mentioned this. I feel safe regarding coronary/clot risks with the transdermal patch reinforced after viewing Dr. Osieki's presentation.
