@gravity3 thank you for your post! I agree that as post-menopausal women we have been short-changed with the lack of awareness concerning the benefits of menopausal hormone treatment.
I just discovered the « Menoposse », a group of millennial gynecologists who are spreading the message of the importance of maintaining our estrogen levels for a much better quality of life. I have been dealing with chronic pain in my hips and lower back for the past 3 years. I am very active, eat well and take supplements. My current gynecologist refuses to put me on HRT so I am looking for another provider.
Could you share some of your sources of information ?

I had to go the functional medicine route. I think some providers and medical systems cant shake loose from the flawed women's health initiative study. My original medicare and supplemental does not pay for the pellet (in my case estradiol/testosterone).
My part d does cover estradiol patches vaginal estradiol cream and progesterone but does noy pay for the compounded testosterone cream that i used to take. I prefer the pellet due to eade and I don't have to remember too many things. The pellet lasts 12 weeks.
