Please read: Do not use HRT if you expect to live without suffering. There are MANY MORE RISKS than the few they speak of. Try a list of more than 20+ side effects which can bring you down to the level of being DISABLED BY THEM.
Case in point: Do you know what I’m sitting here doing right now? I just got done crying horribly after 1 of their "precious" side effects has hit me ONCE AGAIN (1 of several I have). I saw my cat puke & the side-effect of wanting 2 puke hit me STRONG-I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay in MY OWN HOME till my sister gets home & cleans the cats puke. I cried cause I can’t handle a simple cat function & cause I was given HRT without being told what it can do-I feel victimized by money-grubbing doctors. To think I’ve puked over getting my hair in my mouth! Puking is only 1 side-effect I have that’s disabling, add severe daily joint pain.
I wished someone had warned me but no one was a humanitarian-they wanted $$.
No, I didn’t cry due to a hormonal imbalance. Believe it or not my crying resulted from being sick of being a victim of HRT side-effects and uncaring doctors.
I didn’t have enough space to explain WHY puking would result in my tears in the 1st post, so I’ll say it here. It’s because it won’t stop, and has been bad enough that I’ve puked 8 times a week & would "pay the price" for leaving my home because whenever I’d even hear someone clear their throat I’d puke on the spot from it being "too gross to handle". Everywhere I went I was puking and over every little thing-tons of things have become repulsive to me since I’ve been on HRT.
I QUIT HRT on 4-29, but now my body is taking time to "repair itself" after being essentially damaged, which many others have reported as well. I RARELY PUKE NOW. The body takes "time to repair itself" is a fact-my sister once had a side-effect from pain killers for an impacted tooth & it took her over 2 months of recovery time to rid the side-effect.
Also- I’ll add that I’ve done alot of web research on this issue and found that getting side effects so bad that you’re forced to stop HRT is COMMON and NOT "rare".
P.S.–I’ll NEVER use HRT again. I’d have to be a masochist to do this. I once used herbals for it and this worked out fine, so now I’m back on it-for good.

As far as changing doctors to get better HRT help- noway. After 3 doctors I see no point incontinuing with this avenue.

Plus-it wasn’t these doctors faults, it was the HRT itself!
Ooops, forgot to add that I ALSO did thorough research on all HRT’s on the web and found out that there’s a list of 20+ side effects you can get and ALL HRT has these side effects, no matter what doses you use.

So, finding this out it’s one additional reason why I decided to stay away from HRT like it was radiation.

What I found about all HRT’s having these side effects EXPLAINED my past experiences of trying different pills at different doses all to end up with this same trouble-nothing worked and I can see why since they ALL DO THIS.
