Hi there I posted before about this, but thought I would add an update. Four weeks ago I received my first testosterone, estradiol pellet also a bio, identical, progesterone pill. 10 days after I received the pellet, I woke up a different person. I had such energy… No hint of any anxiety… Slept like a log and felt overall wellness like I’ve never felt before. I hope this lasts! My physician orders bloodwork every three months with the bio, identical hormone treatment. After 20 years of bio creams my levels didn’t get high enough to treat osteoporosis.. He said, I really should consider the pellets. It was my last resort…I had been on alctonel a couple summers ago and had horrible side effects. Ongoing UTIs, which I never suffered from… Dizziness, and finally fainting on a marble floor. Thank God I didn’t break anything. That was the day I said no more drugs. I am doing resistance training. I have been doing Pilates for the past 10 years and continue to and taking supplements. I do have a friend on the pellets and she totally reversed her osteoporosis in a year. There is a lot of controversy surrounding pellets but it is the chance I am going to take. The endocrinologist just explained all the side effects of different drugs and said to me you have to take a chance. It was an epiphany because I said to her well I’m going to take a chance with the bio identical therapy. The thing that continues to baffle me is in every office there is no mention of exercise, nutrition nothing …just prescription medicine. If anyone is considering pellet therapy, please make sure your doctor is well trained and that he is giving bloodwork to you every 3 to 4 months. If anybody has anything to share about this please please I would appreciate it.
Depending on age and no history of hormonal breast cancer, that might be very helpful! I have had a nasty hormonal breast cancer so stay away from hormones. My understanding has been that over 60 or so we need to avoid them anyway. I haven't researched it for obvious reasons so if you can enlighten others, that would be interesting to read.
