i don't think it is good advice to say that it isn't ‘dangerous' to stop HRT suddenly. Define dangerous. Hurdity, do you have any evidence to support your statement?
I have read that going cold turkey can increase your chance of heart attack.
Sorry Birdy I should have said "as far as I know" - I mean pretty much everything I say should have that qualifier! I haven't come across anything that suggests it's dangerous to stop suddenly - no evidence at all sorry
! Please do post up the info you've read about and the link. This wouild be really helpful! You asked me to define dangerous but I didn't use the word so perhaps I should ask what you mean? It would indeed be worrying if that risk has been established and would need wider publicity.
Thanks for the link Jenna - nothing said on there about this, so if evidence accumulates that it can be dangerous to stop suddenly this would need to be reflected in the advice on this website I presume...
Kathleen - your post popped up as I was posting - pleased to hear your symptoms are diminishing but not good about the VA, nor the lack of sleep
.
All the best and in haste!
