I have to agree with her. Going with out sleep and losing your bone density is not a good plan. Studies have been done and the whole philosophy on HRT has changed in recent years. If you start to take them before your own hormones decline too much, then you are at a very low risk of anything bad happening. Monitor with mammograms every year and you are OK. I think it is well worth the trade off. My grandmother lived to be 95, however, she lost 7 inches and was in constant pain. Her bones were like chalk. And she had a great diet and was proactive to take calcium. She could break her leg from standing on it. She lived alone, so this was problematic. Every time this happened (yep, more than once) she had to rely on others during the healing process.
I am not taking this laying down. I am fighting it every step of the way. Diet, exercise, and HRT as long as they let me.
However, I am researching this and am on this post. It isn't perfect! They need to find a solution. The meds are expensive and they don't work completely. I still do not sleep and this has been going on FOR YEARS.
