I was taking the hrt presctibed by my doctor, and discovered, all the bad side effects, and dangers.. The blood clots, the heart disease, etc. I took the prescribed hrt for two years, and although the hot flashes went away, I had other major problems.... I finally threw those hormones my doctor prescribed away .
I found a wonderful female gyn who prescribes bioidentical hormones for her patients who have problems taking the fake hormones.. Thats what I call them, synthetic.
My doctor sent me to a compound pharmacy where the pharmacist made up my hormones right there for me.....They are made from natural substances.... I have been on the natural hormones for almost two years... I have never, repeat, never felt better in my life...Or since I was 16...
I have not had one side effect, no blood clots, all is good.......Its all because the hormones are tailor made for me only, they are natural, and much much better than those one size fits all disease causing synthetics the pharm companies want us all to take.
My mother was on synthetic hrt for 20 years.. Her doctor told her, it would protect her heart, and arteries, and her bones.... Well guess what... She stepped down off a curb, and her ankle bones were so brittle from osteoprosis, it cracked her ankle from just stepping down... It shattered her ankle.. She had surgery, with pins etc.... The next day they were taking a blood clot out of her lung the size of a loaf of bread.....Her surgeon recommended she go off those synthetic hormones that was suppose to protect her bones and heart... Today she suffers from heart disease, stenosis, and osteoprosis....Caused from those wonderful dangerous synthetic hormones.
