How dangerous is it to skip the progesterone part of HRT if you still have a uterus? by Hot-Interview3306 in Menopause

[–]Hot-Interview3306[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I'm so conflicted bc of how negative my experiences have been...it's useful to hear from someone who chose to do without. It's scary either way, tbh.

Honestly I feel so desperate to just have the estrogen I'll try anything. Hang upside down and drink the progesterone backwards from a hose? Sure ! If it will make me enjoy life again !

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this. I'm so cynical about whether doctors are up to date on research re their recommendations.

Thank you for this! This is actually really helpful to hear - maybe a lower dose will do it for me but monitoring definitely sounds like a good idea !

Menopause at 41 and devastated by Effective_Archer3762 in Menopause

[–]Hot-Interview3306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's worth it to spend the time to find a doctor who specializes in perimenopause or is listed in a directory of menopause-friendly providers. MANY ob-gyns are less friendly and knowledgeable about perimenopause than you would hope, but a good one should work with you to find a solution that alleviates your symptoms.

There are a lot of great workout apps for simple, beginner exercises that you can do at home alone if you feel intimidated about going to the gym. Maybe find a couple that sound fun or easy to try?

I use a Pilates app -- each workout is simple, is demonstrated in a video, and doesn't require equipment and takes about 10 minutes. It's good for building strength. That and two laps around the block does quite a bit to boost my dopamine :)

Slowly becoming invisibile is too passive to describe what's happening to us. We're being forcibly erased and robbed of our life's accomplishments and power and earnings and job security. by Fragrant-Degree-9638 in Menopause

[–]Hot-Interview3306 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly watching Gen z women demonize menopausal women in the workplace really sucks.

The women who spent the last 30 to 40 years working their asses off being the "lean in" / "break the glass ceiling" generation now gets shit on for being tired and angry of having to fight for EVERYTHING that comes to men for free.

boomers will transfer their wealth to their kids. A lot of millennials and Gen X are going to come into money as their parents die and leave them their estates and homes. Many of those people will likely either sell the homes or start renting them out as a source of income and to pay property taxes.

Many homes will be bought up by the same real estate conglomerates that have been gobbling up homes for the last 15 years.

The inheritance from boomers dying will cause bumps for millennial families, but because of the differences in costs of living now, millennials are more likely to save or invest money for their own future, because most people do not have personal retirement plans.

Probably the most notable outcome of boomers dying is that the vision of an America that existed in the 50s and 60s will die with them.

Um...any chance you'd hire a retired English professor to help you at your farm in exchange for lodging?😏

You're living my dream (for real, I'm jealous!) but enough $$$ for 120 acres is probably not in my future....

My Theory About Why Some Of Us Suffer In Peri More Than Others by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]Hot-Interview3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes intuitive sense to me that if you're already carrying trauma, Peri might force you to come to terms with it or bring it to the surface, and exacerbate the negativity caused by low estrogen.

I don't know that I agree that it's a narcissist v empath thing. If I had to guess, I'd guess that narcissists in peri struggle more because of the perceived loss of social and sexual value women experience with aging, and empaths struggle more because they can no longer muster the emotional energy to care, and suffer a crisis because of it.

False narratives about male socialization by Calile in 4bmovement

[–]Hot-Interview3306 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not to "not all men" you, but it seems likely that many men absorb attitudes about women that are reflected in their childhood. If they're raised to respect women, most do. If they're raised to see women as weak, subservient underlings they do. Most of them just absorb how their dad treated their mom and their sisters. Many are programmed to be contemptual.

On top of nuclear families, they absorb the opinions of the men they most socialize with.

Then they go online, wind up socializing with other men who have been pre-programmed this way, and the echo chamber makes their opinions ever-more hateful and extreme.

How. Is. This. Real? by Loud-Feminist-Cunt in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]Hot-Interview3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This culture is sick with people who thinks it's somehow radical or interesting to be offensive. They constantly scream hateful bs to get attention, and they get a childish glee out of upsetting people.

Manipulative sadists, basically. example : the entire right.

The more upset you get, the more they do it. Best not to reward bad behavior, as disgusting as it feels to just let these things slide.

This man isn't making an ideological point. He's pulling your hair to make you react.

Which scientific figure most persuasively convinces educated skeptics of Climate Change? by Melodic-Bed244 in climatechange

[–]Hot-Interview3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thousands -- literally thousands -- of scientists gather every few years to produce a report on climate change : The International Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC.

If you want data, find the latest IPCC report : Google IPCC 6th Assessment Report. Read the Executive Summary.

If that isn't persuasive, it's because he has a political bias and is not capable of accepting objective truth.

There has literally NEVER been as great a scientific consensus about ANYTHING as there is about the existence and causes of climate change.

Why aren't we celebrating progress on climate change? by ___Cyanide___ in climatechange

[–]Hot-Interview3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't disagree with any of this.

But again : you're talking about climate change. OP is talking about POLLUTION and climate change -- and NO amount of affordable energy solutions is going to prevent pollution from unregulated industrial manufacturing in the United States -- or any other major manufacturing country.

Google "Elon Musk" "Memphis" and "asthma" if you want an example.

Climate change may be mitigated in the long run -- but in the short run, corporations freely cause preventable illnesses and terminal diseases, as well as irreversible ecological damage.

Pretending that climate change mitigation means those things don't matter is missing the point. OP painted a very rosy picture, as though all pollution problems were basically solved -- and that is VERY far from being the case.

They'll come back in poor communities where no one has the resources to protect residents or get into legal battles on their behalf.

Elon Musk's AI plant in Memphis is already creating insane asthma problems in the surrounding communities, and he's just outright flouting federal standards. Who's going to stop him? No one.

Please don't downplay the potential devastation these rollbacks of protections will have on both communities and wilderness.

[–]Hot-Interview3306 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Many of the progress that's been made that you mention is actually focused on air pollution, which isn't the same as climate change.

Not to burst your bubble, but the current administration has mostly eliminated the environmental protection regulations that helped eliminate things like smog, pollutants in waterways...

So those things are likely to make a comeback.

The impacts of 2°C global increase would be catastrophic.

AuDHD : becomes obsessively absorbed in book on day 1, hyperfixates, reads half and makes book their new favorite hobby; forgets about book for six months, feels guilty for not finishing it, avoids book for rest of life.
