I am getting more confused by the day!
I visited a friend just starting on HRT. She is starting it to reduce potential problems and combat symptoms that may or may not be attributed to the menopause at the moment. I have looked into it as i have a couple of issues that also may or may not be attributed to the menopause. For instance, my memory is poor, I have lost interest in things and apathy. I don't have hot flushes or night sweats or any other typical symptoms.
My friend has started HRT to reduce the chances of heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes in the future.
So I rang the gp who said yes you qualify after asking the most basic of questions, sent me information and told me to message him when I've decided which one I want! He recommended I consider SSRI'S as there are less risks involved but how would they help combat osteoporosis plus I'm not even depressed?!
Can anyone please offer any wisdom to help me out of this dilemma! Does anyone else take HRT with few or no symptoms. Davina says only 1 in 10 of us take it anyway.
