I’d rather take that tiny risk of cancer than suffer with the physical pain and degeneration. The ligaments in the hips and joints, pain, sleeplessness, brain fog, hair loss, skin deterioration, and on and on. It is literally the difference between living your life and dying your life. What is the point in playing the game to only be able to sit on the bench? If they can make men into women with hormones, surely they can have the compassion and courtesy to give biological women their rightful hormones. I hardly think the main purpose of this science is to deny this relief to women. IMO it should be the gold standard and not a five years only treatment we have to beg for.

@astralarchaeology5840 2 месяца назад

As a 57-year-old woman on HRT, I can confirm this is 100% accurate. All of my medical issues have been related to the lack of Estrogen. The brain fog, the stabbing eye pain, excruciating joint pain, and bladder frequency to name a few. But none of my doctors (Gyno/Ophthalmologist/Urologist) or physical therapists put the pieces together - I did. They treated the symptoms, not the underlying cause. And I don't understand why they didn't know? It's not like this is a new syndrome. Women have been going through this change for, oh idk...millennia? Aristotle was even talking about it. So, I asked for the Combipatch and now I am feeling so much better! Even my mood has been uplifted. My brain lit up, my eyes no longer hurt, and my joints are slowly getting better. I'm just angry that I had to suffer for so long without the right help. I hear that in medical school they get about 1 hour of lecture on Menopause 🙄 women's pain and suffering are often dismissed as us just being "whiny women." So, I am ecstatic that doctors are now realizing what's going on! Thank you! Edit: And I will never go off them! Don't let your doctor give them short-term only. Demand them and find a doctor who will understand!

When I got my first period at 14 I freaked out, I refused to go back to school because of excrutiating pain. My parents told me to suck it up all girls deal with it. I refused, I cried. So mom finally called the family doctor and he was actually informed, he diagnosed me with dysmenorrhea and pmdd and put me on anti inflammatories so I could go to school. They aren't all bad, even back 20 some years ago old white guys took care of us, too.

I had sudden menopause at age 45 due to chemo for ER/PR breast cancer. I struggled with sleep, brain fog, energy, and weighed in at 170 lbs. I was desperate and wanted to feel and sleep better. I took bio identical hormones E3, PR, and testosterone for over a year. I then tried a low dose testosterone pellet and my hair started falling out. I said no way. Im done. I never lost weight. Never really slept better. It wasn’t the magic fix i hoped for. I ended up doing a ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting and that helped a lot of things. It’s been over 6 years and i am 135 lbs and 5’5. I feel and look vibrant and younger in face and body than others my age, even though becoming menopausal at a young age. In my experience, keto is better than bio identical hormones. I am 18 yrs survivor next month. Hallelujah

@@lisabass5188 Most likely exacerbated by the HRT - estrogen.

@scoobydadog246 Месяц назад

So much misunderstanding re: estrogen - if one really dives into the literature; it is not diminished in the post menopausal woman. What can be a problem is the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone. Medicine only measures the blood level of estradiol, not the other estrogens which are produced from aromatases present in many tissues - including fat. These estrogens can inter-convert. When tissue/cellular levels are measured, they are elevated. Estrogen is inflammatory, anti-metabolic, and as you know - carcinogenic. Not just breast cancer - any cancer. I'm surprised anyone would prescribe those with your cancer history! An additional problem with bio-identical hormones (plant extracts) is that despite the 'identical' in the name, they aren't exactly the same; and aren't fully understood. i.e some have different effects in different cell types than our mammalian hormones. This makes them hard to predict. I think a lot of the symptoms attributed to estrogen could be due to other things as he mentioned - thyroid, insulin, cortisol, or ironically too much estrogen. So your experience makes sense. I guess some ppl report feeling better with estrogen/progesterone replacement,, but I also hear a lot of stories like yours. Maybe some progesterone is helping? Don't really know, but theoretically it can only be a bad thing in the long run, so glad you listened to your body! The 'estrogen industry' is big and powerful . More likely a lot of problems women have are more likely due to the excess estrogen they have been consuming for years or decades with the birth control. Glad you are feeling better!

Well, after menopause your hormone levels are little to none, no one needs to check. That’s what menopause is really. There are menopause docs here on RU-vid that can give you the education that doctors don’t seem to have themselves, like Barbara Taylor.

@Karen-ff4os 2 месяца назад

Respectfully ...As a woman if you have low to no testosterone you can benefit from it. PCOS is a condition that happens during your fertile years, once your ovaries stop producing and "shut off" your testosterone levels can drop dramatically. So in late stage perimenopause or at menopause you may need a little testosterone. You have testosterone receptors throughout the female body as well. It helps with depression, anxiety, motivation and protective of the heart, bones, muscle and brain. I recommend listening to Dr. Louise Newsom, a UK HRT specialist - she is a wealth of knowledge and leading expert in when and why to use testosterone in HRT for women. Thank you and appreciate your work. 😊 .

Whether it’s sugar or alcohol sometimes this is the energy we’re craving to just stay function. Granted.

I just entered menopause, have been on HRT for a few years now for symptoms that were destroying my life. It has been a difficult process to get to a better place but the gaslighting by health professionals has been one of the worst parts. There is a huge bias/stigma against older women in our society and many just do not want to hear an aging woman's "complaints." I never had trouble being heard when I was young. I am also now shy of doctors. Sorry you have gone through all that.

Dr. Cywes, I cannot tell you how much it means to hear a male doctor say what you just did. Every doctor I have seen for my auto-immune (PMR and Hashimotos) problems has dismissed me as being a "hypochondriac", or delusional and put me on steroids, and anti-depressants, or wanted to put me on opiates to control the symptoms and pain. It was only after my daughter directed me to Judy Cho, who led me to YOU, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Anthony Chaffee that I finally started getting help - simply by watching and by listening to you 3 and Judy. I have never met any of you but all 4 of you have had a PROFOUND effect on my life for the better. I am 8 months into carnivore... struggling to stay on track sometimes, but doing the best I can. ... still dealing with painful joints and myscles from the PMR but have lost some weight (started at 212lbs, now stuck at 175lbs) which I think does help relieve pressure on my knees and back. Feet still very painful too. But so many other issues pretry much gone... IBS, Gerd, etc. Whether you are male or female, auto-immune is no fun, but for women it can be super difficult when coupled with menopause (as mine is). No doc I have gone to for help has any "blanking" clue so hearing you admit you have more to learn is refreshing. Thank you for what you do.

I convinced my doc to put me on progesterone and within a couple months not only did I feel SO much better but my cholesterol dropped back down.

No libido, weight gain, hair loss, tinnitus, dry eyes…..the list goes on. He told me that my hair loss had to be genetic, was very confused at my ear pain and tinnitus, and said the libido problem was basically “psychological”. In my head. I went home and told my husband I’m not going back to that nut of a doctor. I’ve been doing my own research and have been amazed at how many of the symptoms I’ve suffered for YEARS are hormonal-related!! I was not prescribed any hormones after my hysterectomy.

Sex drive - I don't give a hoot about sex drive!! Perimenopause was a miserable experience. Hot flashes that left me looking like a wet t-shirt contestant and prevented me sleeping, so every step of every day was taken through constant crushing exhaustion. Chronic migraine so severe I had to drop out of the workforce. Emotional lability and helpless sobbing for no discernible cause. Weight swings of 10lb in a week, up or down, again with no discernible cause. Brain fog that made me incapable of reading because I'd see the words but they had as much meaning as cuneiform. The shattering pain of the migraine attacks sent me to the hospital for emergency shots, even for intravenous coritcosteroids to reduce the swelling of my brain. No male doctor who's never had a 10-day migraine should ever be allowed to treat a perimenopausal woman. I'm talking about explosive vomiting, diarrhoea, inability to bear any light at all, and pain, pain, pain. The only thing that worked for me is bio-identical estradiol. As I'd had a hysterectomy and there's no history of breast cancer in my family, it was a low-risk strategy. And it was magical. I went within a month from constant migraine, sobbing, brain fog, and exhaustion, to being able to function almost normally. Another month and I enrolled in school to pursue my longtime dream of being an archaeologist. I took estradiol for five years, and then tapered it off over a year. It would have been unbearable to have a sex drive while I was so miserably ill. Let's be honest: the sex drive thing is not for the woman's benefit - it's to keep her performing for the sake of her partner.

Three separate biopsies confirmed it. If I had not had it all removed back I would have gone to the OR. I felt so good after I healed that I felt free for the first time in my life.

Hi Dr Robert! I just saw your video for the first time and it gave me some hope! Background,,,, for some reason who knows why I started menopause at age 35. I still have all my woman parts but nothing works correctly. At age 38 I was completely menopausal and it threw me for a loop as I had just got married for the second time to my now husband. Thank GOD he is an understanding man because what I was going through would have sent most men running! So I went on hormone therapy for about 7 years and they yanked me off of everything saying I don’t need it anymore. Since then I have been dealing with horrible brain fog, sore achy joints and muscles, mood swings, vulvar atrophy, lack of energy, horrible sleep patterns and no sex drive whatsoever. I’m sure I’m leaving out a few things but this is the jist of it. Because of the horrible atrophy they did put me on estradiol vaginal cream and it has helped me so much but of course not with 99% of what’s going on. Fast forward Iam now 67 and have osteoporosis and I feel like crap. I just never feel good, I don’t know what that would feel like! My question is, am I too old for HRT NOW?? I have Afib and now wonder if lack of hormones caused it. Other than that I’m healthy. I want to make an appointment with my doctor but I’m afraid she will dismiss my complaints as, well there is nothing we can do about this so just do the best you can response. I only feel old because my body hurts but my brain says come on you can do this. It’s just a very sad life and I do get to my wits end. Thank you for reading this and listening to me! I truly appreciate it!

I absolutely agree. Those conversations can be difficult as many Ob-Gyn can only consider menopause as the end of usefulness. I was fortunate to have one who recognized the usefulness of HRT in brain function and was on HRT for a long time and only quit when I retired shortly after my ObGyn had retired and did not refer me to a replacement doctor. Without the support of HRT i could not have been effective as a policy and regulatory process advisor. The progesterone support was, inmy view a key to maintaining assertiveness in an environment of high stress and cutting debate. This is more than overcoming brain fog and cuts to the ability to continue to function effectively in a very demanding work environment.

I had it a few months after my hysteroctomy, at 49. it was really painful and debilitating. fortunately i met a good rehabilitation doctor by my physiotherapists who said that it is mostly connected with hormones (most of her frozen shoulder patients were women in theirs fifties). because they left me one ovary, i went to doctor for check up - and really, the ovary did not function at all. i did not want to start straight away hrt (after a few surgeries and consequent high medication), so i opted for taking some mix of isoflavones - for example solgars botanic female complex - and it made big difference for me, especially when it came to pain. i recovered.... but i wonder how many women are struggling with it without anybody telling them that it might be connected with their hormones....

@karmilkm 2 месяца назад

From my understanding a certain level of estrogen needs to be achieved to prevent osteoporosis, dementia/alzheimer's and heart disease and that is not the "lowest dosage". Also the pellets are not good. I started my journey of HRT on them and my testosterone ended up through the roof because they keep adding it each time to give me that "rush" of feeling strong and fabulous so I would keep coming back for more. However over time, of course, all that testosterone began to have a negative effect. Though I do not want to be testosterone dominant, it is I feel necessary for women. It helps in building lean muscle, easing aches and pain as we age and also helps with libido as well amongst other things. The most difficult situation that I've had to deal with during this menopausal process though is finding a competent doctor. Even one who claimed to be a menopausal specialist has now made me estrogen dominant with levels of 2100 when it's supposed to be at 214 tops. My current dr is helping in correcting it. Although I'm thankful for having the gift of growing older because many have been denied that, this has been the most difficult chapter of my life. Not only do I feel horrible, like my body is no longer mine, I've gained 30 lbs to add to the torture Thank you for your apology, at least that's a start.
