Doing the dosing dance
I am so sorry to whatever prescriber said this, because while I diligently transcribed it, I did not note the source.

“I know when a woman needs a hormone. What I don’t know is what type, when, what dose, or how she’s gonna respond to any of it. We don’t know that. And the only way is to take a risk like you would with a supplement or a medication or a lifestyle change. There’s no promises that come with any of this.”
British endocrinologist Dr Annice Mukherjee has made it her mission to speak about hormone therapy is a process that needs to be nestled into lifestyle and deeper root cause investigation. She says: “There is rarely one single thing that is causing all your symptoms – and rarely one single approach that fixes them.”

Editor’s note
Still on vacation! Just a reminder that we need all the voices in this space, but here at Hotflash inc, we will always gravitate to those who are humble enough to finish their sentences, to keep talking about the fullness of what we need in our transitions, and to acknowledge that the majority, this is not a quick-fix transition.

My first endocrinologist told me to take the progesterone 200 mg in the morning. After a month of drowsiness he suggested is the wrong dose NOT to take it in the evening. Ufffff!!!
