Hi - I did not take HRT during menopause because it was just after that study came out saying it increases breast cancer risk (and that study has now been debunked). My docs will not prescribe HRT now for my osteoporosis because I am 10+ years out from menopause, but an endocrinologist has suggested a kind of drug called a SERMS, which acts like HRT but does not cause estrogen uptake anywhere but the bones. So I’m looking into that. By the way, I had a Reclast infusion in March of last year and will never do it again - it was the sickest I have ever been in my life, and has apparently triggered fibromyalgia in me, so I am in constant pain with fatigue.
