Interesting letter in today's D/Mail from a reader taking Liz Earle to task for promoting avidly the use of HRT at a young age. For those who have not read it, its as follows.....
"I wish beauty guru Liz Earle would stop trying to persuade women of a certain to take HRT so they can look as youthful as her.
I took HRT after having a hysterectomy at a young age. I exercised three times a week and had a healthy diet. There was no history of breast cancer in my family, but I developed an oestrogen-receptive form of this disease, indicating it was likely to have been caused by HRT.
Before taking HRT, please have all health checks and think carefully about the risks. I question whether Li's trim figure and glowing skin is down to HRT, rather than her privileged lifestyle"
I started taking HRT at the onset of early menopause age 43, however, within a few months I was diagnosed with Lupus, and was immediately taken off it. The doctors maintained that HRT (in my case) exacerbated the symptoms of Lupus, so clearly I wasn't suited to it.
