Hi AnneK!
Toronto here also, just going to restart HRT after a 8 year break due to other issues. Have to start the journey again in finding a new endo etc. but not too worried. But at 62 now wondering if there's a reason not to start up. The first time I noticed definite effects after 2 solid years, both physical and psychological. Maybe psychosomatic LOL. But having the calming effect and peace of mind is a real benefit.
Ever want to chat let me know!
