Hi There, just curious.....?

I have RA and fib. Have been on benapali 2 years which allows me to continue to work. Gp has recommended HRT as I am struggling with many menopausal symptoms. Rheumatologist has said it should be fine- but no medical advice really treats a person holistically.

So my concerns are the obvious!!!!

RA causes heart problems ( heart inflammation)

Benapali can cause heart problems ( side effects)

HRT ( Heart problem scares during 2010 research)

Anyone taking all of these and how is it being on both meds please?

TIA

    Good morning @Girlchris and welcome to the forum.

    I see that you have RA and fibromyalgia, you are also struggling with menopausal symptoms.

    Your concern is to be sure that there is no elevated risk to you arising from the addition of HRT medication to the mix of Benepali and your other conditions. Your GP has recommended the HRT treatment and the rheumatologist can see no issue.

    I suggest that you contact our helpline who will be able to discuss this in greater detail.
