Alloy isn’t great

I also did Alloy for three months, other than my mood settling down, I had no results at all. I contacted doctor that was assigned to me to do let her know that the hormones she prescribed weren’t doing anything for me. She offered to raise the dosage, and wanted to charge me another $50 or whatever to get the higher dose. They are very expensive. I think it was around $300 for three month supply.I’ve dealt with two NAMS providers, both of them were useless

Yep, she’s the very one that led me to a NAMS provider….

Same.

Me too, I saw two different ones. The first one put me on vaginal pills for vaginal atrophy, refuse to give me estrogen otherwise. The second one put me on Lexapro, which I took for a week at half dose. Within two days of taking the full dose, I had severe vertigo so I stopped it immediately. I googled possible side effects, of which vertigo was one, plus just for the hell of it. I googled to see what medication‘s were contraindicated with Lexapro. I’m on two of them. I sent the second doctors office a letter on my patient portal, tell him to cancel my upcoming appointment and why I was cancelling it. Instead of the doctor, taking responsibility for not having research the medication told me that she researched the medication thoroughly, she saw no issues with my taking it, then she said the pharmacist shouldn’t have given Lexapro to me if it would interact with the two medication if it was life-threatening. I sent back a nasty message, told him don’t bother responding to it, don’t bother contacting me

Yup. Me too. Many people are realizing that Dr. Haver only has part of the whole picture, unfortunately.

Oh thank God. I was wondering what was wrong with me that I didn't take to her.

Same here. Went to a NAMS physician's assistant and, while she was quite compassionate, was told I was not a good candidate for hrt because I'm 12 years out and had taken nothing in the interim. I have only recently experienced the increase in belly, hip, and thigh fat. And hot flashes. Nothing from 55 to 67. But she said it would put me at risk for stroke

Somewhere that has a fellowship like a year with someone so you can learn not from blind leaders teaching their dogma

@@ShawnTassoneMDPhD Have you heard about Dr Louise Newson in the UK? She is THE trailblazer there, not affiliated with any company or organization. She created a fabulous evidence based menopause library/website, podcast, a free app, a menopause charity and has created her own menopause society, because she’s not happy with the existing ones. She also created a free course for healthcare providers worldwide to learn about menopause and HRT prescribing, but anyone can access it and learn, which is so important! The course launched in the fall of 2022 (I believe) and within the first 2 months over 10,000 healthcare providers within the UK and Ireland had signed up for it! The need for training is real!

That’s not true really I mean fat doesn’t store your estrogen, fat can make estrogen not store it. And what estrogen does is cause you to retain fluid and maybe make your insulin not work as well if it’s too high

Dr. Tassone I feel that hrt is great but why the weight gain? I have not gained any weight before but started bioindentical estradiol gel and progesterone and boom! Weight gain. Any suggestions?

I just tried to call. My regular doctor will request a baseline of blood work and I can compare it to your book. What should be checked in a baseline test? The office is closed
