Restored resilience and joy
I’m a woman who was shut out from HRT by the overwhelmingly alarmed response of the medical community to the Women’s Health Initiative study. As a result, I navigated menopause with zero hormonal support, endured 16 years of unalleviated hot flashes and weight gain (and resultant sleep apnea). When the FDA announced the lifting of black box warnings on estrogen therapies, I was 20 years past the onset of menopause. My hot flashes were waning. It was too late to mitigate a number of ill effects of menopause, but I was determined to find someone to help me. After a number of dead ends, a friend recommended MIDI. I was starting to feel like a shriveled old lady, but my clinician set me up with an HRT protocol that fits. I feel better at 68 than I did at 58. My brain fog has reversed, my skin is more hydrated and resilient, strange all-over itchiness is entirely gone, and my sex life has revived! It looks like my 70’s may be better than my 50’s, and MIDI was the means to that improvement.
