My experience : The Fifth Vital Sign

Hey everyone, I'm reading (well, listening to the author-narrated audiobook) The Fifth Vital Sign by Lisa Hendrickson-Jack and just finished Chapter 9. Friends, when I tell you this book had me SOBBING, I mean tears streaming down my face and gripping the steering wheel kind of crying. I just feel so betrayed by the pharmaceutical industry and NEVER would have taken HCs if I'd known the risks to my health and wellbeing. I'm not here to debate the ethics of HCs, I believe it's your personal choice, but I'm just so upset I was never told and feel blatantly lied to.

Has anyone out here read The Fifth Vital Sign and feel the same way? How do you deal with the anxiety of having taken something you never gave informed consent to for over a decade?? I had my IUD removed over a month ago and love re-learning my natural cycles as they slowly return, but hate to think of the damage I caused to my body by putting it there in the first place.

Sorry if this is vague, I don't want to upset anyone or start a fight by putting the scary facts on here. I can go into more details of what is upsetting me if anyone is listening.

Thanks, sorry for the rant. Advice is appreciated.
