Can’t wait to read that article! I’ve been meaning to look into the musculoskeletal research. One of the symptoms that moved me towards HT was a chronic hip injury that seemed to come out of nowhere and wouldn’t resolve. After a short time on HT it left. Joints also less painful. Staying active is so crucial that I wonder if this set of symptoms should be taken more seriously when considering HT. Who wants to move if it hurts? Just like who wants to have sex if it hurts? Happy Halloween, Susan! Hope your DEXA comes back with good news! Let us know! If you want. 🎃

Really great article, Susan! I love that you noticed the distinction between GSM, which is an official term, and the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause which is not yet but is being proposed. I hope it gets adopted. As you point out GSM was coined in 2014 and it's taken this long ...10 years ... for word to really begin to get out. This actually isn't unusual in the medical world as these things take time to get out. Keep up the great job on your Substack and in life!
