Yep, there are a lot of people who are very negative about hrt, but there again there are always people who find the bad in everything.
Ultimately, it is your decision, but I figured a while ago that life in the here and now is what is important. Yes , you may get something down the line, but you might get something totally unrelated to hrt, run over by a bus or live until you 100- none of us know, but we ladies sure do know how we feel right now!
I started hrt a while back, i was having lots of symptoms that were seriously annoying to the point i was happy to lay on the sofa all day inert....and sweated all night.
People are very happy to provide ‘advice' when its not them it's happening to!
