Linda - Age 62

At age 34 I had a complete hysterectomy. I entered very suddenly the feminine world of menopause with no preparation and no one offering a guiding hand for the journey. Yes, I met doctors who prescribed pills and patches of estrogen in varying strengths all followed with the assurance that this was the medication that I needed. There was little information about why this was needed and fewer questions about how I was feeling. They honestly believed they were doing their best for a woman of my age and stage, but they did not know me. Twenty years later with concern for my health I gave up.

With my drastic decision to stop estrogen replacement, I was then given medications to ward off osteoporosis. Again the same scenario unfolded until I said stop! I knew I was not caring for my body by taking drugs with side effects nor by going cold turkey. I needed help to navigate this journey.

Then I met Dr. Pawsat. I came to him with concern for my bones, the other symptoms of menopause I had learned to accept. He came to me with concern for my whole body which included my bones. He asked questions; he listened; and we formed a partnership. He gave me information so I could make informed decisions about my health.
My story began 28 years ago with menopausal symptoms that eventually covered the checklist. With that came many questions, serious long range health concerns, and few answers. Then Dr. Pawsat joined me on this long journey. Not only have my menopausal symptoms subsided, but I’m actually building bone without stomach challenging drugs. I feel fantastic. I have a health plan for my whole body, and I have been heard. Thank you Dr. Pawsat for listening.
