With all the controversy over the years on 6month thyroid appointment with endo. He was surprised to hear I was no longer taking or using bioidentical hormone creams. He went on the explain that the woments survey I think in 03 was flawed as prempro and premarin were used and wasn't the estrogen which had a slight increase in breast cancer was the progesterone component. And even that he said was about 5 in 10,000 that a female developed cancer so he suggested I go back on them for osteoporosis and arthritis pain. And that is whent he added that now the have found a link to them preventing intestinal cancer or bowel cancer. So after spending the day trying to get an appointment to see the bioidentical doc calling around to the few other docs did get a prescription renewed and an appointment for July with his Nurse Practitioner. So again will rub compounded creams twice a day into my body and hope to feel better. Oh if only the back and sciatica pain would leave might again resume doing physical stuff without pain. So many past disappointments have left me without a lot of hope. Please work. P
