The refusal of much of the medical community to allow for modified dosages is frustrating. It would be too expensive for the drug companies (according to my retired MD sister-in-law) to do the research so they don’t. It’s ridiculous to prescribe the same dosage to a 100 pounder that you do with a 150 pound person. I believe it is malpractice. Glad you are getting some relief with the HRT’s. Hang in there! I too was given a laundry list of medications over the years that undoubtedly contributed to my bones loss; we just didn’t know.

Follow the money. Not just weight adjustments, but getting the same research dollars for women's health overall is a challenge. Now...likely no dollars in the US.
