I have been on hrt for 20 years…bioidentical creams. I now started the pellet therapy. I am 67 and have never felt better. I question big pharma and of course $ for delaying any positive evidence about Hrt. We are close. I have heard positive things in the news about using hormone replacement therapy. I asked my integrative medicine doctor when is a time to stop and he said when you die. His mother used the bio identical hormones until she was way into her 90s. I am hoping my next scan shows a big improvement. My numbers aren’t that bad but I do feel that’s because of the bioidentical creams, weight lifting, Pilates, supplements, cutting way back on alcohol, diet sodas etc. Again, I am not an expert I am only expressing my experience. Always do your homework…check and recheck…never stop reading. We are in charge of our bodies.
