RantHRT shortage
I take HRT because I had a hysterectomy and double oophorectomy when I was under 40. If I don’t replace the estrogen my body can no longer produce, I’m at increased risk for bone loss and early-onset dementia.
The day I’ve been dreading is finally here. Last week, my pharmacy informed that the patch is out of stock and they will contact me when they get more. Today, they informed me that they’re reaching out to my doctor for an alternate prescription because they can’t get more. From what I can tell, the shortage is part supply chain issues, part increased demand. Gen X is the smallest generation, so it’s not like there’s a sudden flood of menopausal women. There is a flood of AGP men who want to play with their own boobs though.
Cool cool, let me just suffer so that men can take hormones their bodies don’t need. I am so angry right now.
And that’s not even true! Too many doctors won’t prescribe HRT for natural menopause because conventional wisdom vacillates on the benefits v. risks. Gee, if only women’s health care research was fully funded and functional.
It reminds me of how eggs were both good and bad for your health at one point.
It being untrue was one of the most aggravating things about it, exactly!! They don't just hand out HRT to women going through menopause, from what I gather there are all kinds of hoops to jump through
It was PhilosophyTube so it was most likely his classic case of 'I know this isn't true, but all those brocialists who love me so much won't have a clue, because I'm so much smarter than them'. Absolute bad-faith grifter.
On the plus side, his face, body and outfits these days are absolutely hilarious to look at and have given me many a laugh aloud, so I guess we get something out of him making a public fool of himself for his fetish.
