I'm 66. I made it. A bit of a bumpy ride...but the worst part was getting what I call "the pellet." HRT where a pellet hormone cocktail is implanted in your hip at regular intervals by the doc. It seems WONDROUS at first...but becomes a nightmare.

Such a nightmare I don't even know if it's used any longer.

If you want the gritty details, I'll provide. Let's just say yeast infections, teenage acne, and sideburns like Abe Lincoln's were some of the side effects.
