There are side effects because I have other health conditions it is a fairly difficult choice. Diabetes high cholesterol and blood pressure arthritis cauda equina.  If I am to do this it has to be rapid. The HRT program I choose lasts a year.

Please be careful then. Think about it first and don't make rash decisions that could hurt your health even more. I mean you could die.

My medical background is the one thing the doctors have a concern with.  The safest is Transdermal, then oral pills in that order.
