"We were surprised to see that so many young women stopped treatment early"
I can't believe that doctors who prescribe these products can say such things! They perfectly know what total deprivation of estrogen does.

These medications can save your life but they sometimes have severe side effects. I do hope one day they will find another way to protect us than to make us age in an accelerated way, dry us up and make us suffer from joint pain and other problems such as loosing our hair but having it grow all over our face, putting us at risk with cardiovascular problems; putting dozen of pounds on, impairing our brain; killing our sex life etc...
I do understand that we must suffer through all that to survive but I can understand that some women stop. I would like these Doctors to feel just one week what I feel.
They should be working on helping with these side effects and not denying them.
I am sorry. I am angry. This is not positive but I am not advising not to take these therapies. I am happy they exist. I am just mad to read that such eminent doctors say they are "surprised".
