Take your soy and shove it!!

[Geekbabe]

Visited the doctor today.. and am starting HRT. This concept of menopause as a "natural process"is all well and good but after 15 months of misery I can't take it anymore,I'm sick of soy products,I hate beans and I hate producing enough natural gas to heat an office building,I'm sick of night sweats,hot flashes and insominia!! estrogen replacement here I come!

It was HRT or going out and buying an automatic weapon

 

[nakedfrog]

Can't you do both?

Good for you. Why feel bad if you don't have to?

nothing good has ever come from soy

 

[nonameo]

HRT = hormone replacement therapy.

I like soymilk sometimes, but like you I get really bad gas if I have too much soy.

Studies suggest an increase in breast cancer of 30% & ovarian cancer of 20% with HRT.

There are some newer studies out,the women in that first,famous study were on average quite a bit older. Women in my age range,newly menopausal and at risk for bone loss who are suffering significant other symptoms stand to benefit from HRT.


I struggled going the natural route for quite some time,I need some relief from the constant hot flashes,night sweats and sleep disruption.

 

[eakers]

Good. There is no need to suffer

I know it helped my mom out a lot as well.

I'm already catching some flack from the au natural crowd on this issue. I've been coping with perimenopause/menopause issues for over 3 yrs now.I didn't run at the first hot flash to get pills. I counted my hot flashes for a few days. I had 15 in one day,not counting the 2-3 night sweats that waken me each and every night.

I don't begrudge other women their right to decide on this issue,why is it wrong to say that things like soy and black cohosh aren't working for me?

Have you thought about a blood test to get your thyroid checked ? Just a wild thought.

"They" also tell me staying active helps. Gym, sports, jog, walk..whatever.
