Does HRT make any difference

[Notmuchenergy]

Just out of curiosity is there anyone here on W&W and on HRT ? If so how are your energy levels ?

Hi, I’ve been on HRT since I was 45 and I am noe 65. I have been on W&W since 2015. Admittedly I certainly am not as energetic as I used to be, and I sometimes feel very tired. I have never associated taking hrt with the tiredness I just presumed it was having CLL. I try to just do as much as possible as I don’t want to end up just sitting all day, it’s hard at times but hey I am so grateful to be able to enjoy everyday. God Bless.

Hi I’m 69, on w&w 13 years, and can’t take HRT but just wondered if it helped with tiredness. I saw on TV how much it helps women in general with fatigue and brain fog so just wondered how it might affect people with CLL. Thanks for replying and hope you keep well.

Hi, I started HRT about a year ago through a functional practitioner. But now my PCP is concerned about this due to my CLL. I'm 56 and have been in W&W since 2013. Since CLL is not a hormone related cancer I found her concern strange. I'm on hormones to help my bones (I have osteopenia, borderline osteoporosis). She is having me talk to my hematologist about it. I have had increase energy, but that could be because the functional practitioner is also treating my hypothyroid and those meds tend to help with energy.
