I'm a 63 year old woman and I've been on the Wiley protocol for 4 years. My bone density is the same as it was 5 years ago - I haven't lost any bone. I sleep pretty well. No hot flashes. My brain had gotten so fuzzy I was forgetting simple words constantly - that straightened out right away and I'm close to normal. I was getting troubling visual migraines and they have almost completely stopped. My libido was never very high and still isn't. I've put on a few pounds but maybe that's because I'm 63. I'm fairly active and eat a decent diet and always have. My skin looks and feels very good.
I'm in Santa Fe, nm and have been seeing a doctor there and getting the hormones fromThe Medecine Shoppe in Santa Barbara CA. They do a decent, but not perfect job.
Going back to having periods obviously is a pain in the ass but an annoyance I'm willing to have for health. Staying on the protocol is difficult since missing even one dose will throw my period off. It needs to be an awful lot easier to use before it'll ever get wide acceptance.
I'm happy to hear from other women. I'm troubled by all the controversy. But more troubled that the regular health care system seems to have disregarded the needs of millions of women. When I first heard about horse-piss hormones like premarin and how testosterone is closer to our hormones than Premarin, I swore I'd never take that. Which turned out to be the right choice. But that really leaves women in the lurch.
