Actually, I take BHRT topical and vaginally. HRT is a term for all hormone plans with BHRT being one of them; HRT is more commonly associated with synthetic hormones, but like the terms progesterone and progestin the terms get muddled.
If I am a "cheer leader" as you name call me, then I am a cheer leader for bone health and hormonal health in the safest most conservative way possible. I have nothing to gain from people using BHRT or strontium, I post hoping that my story will help others.
You ask: "So how do you know that you won the 'bone lottery' with strontium if you are being treated with both HRT and strontium"
Answer: because I seem to be the only one on Inspire who is taking HRT or BHRT while on strontium and all of them have had similar results. Plus, all the research on strontium shows similar results to what I have had.
So you don't like research, or you have a prejudice against AI giving research? Plus, you are asking personal questions; AI does not research me personally so your statement against AI is moot and serves no logical purpose in this context.
I do not find research overwhelming, and AI with all its potential faults is an amazing tool to locate research at a moments notice. I am sorry that the brief post listing of research and information which AI provided overwhelmed you. I suggest you just skip what you find overwhelming, that is what I do in long reseach articles. Ha, or I ask AI to give me the conclusions thru the window which I am researching. Now that is a thought you might post the reply which you find overwhelming into copilot and ask for it to condense it down for you. 🙂
