What a year this has been. I am now on my third attempt of HRT. The GP hasn’t saved me though, its been a facegroup page – The Menopause Support Network and a website called the Menopause Doctor. Through this support network I found Diane Danzebrink. I paid for a skype consultation and I have never looked back. And thank God I found her and the group because my GP told me she would have never allowed me to go on HRT. Apparently I am too young! If anyone reading this knows me, you’d be expecting expletives at this point however I am reserving my self-respect and not lowering myself to such unacceptable behaviour.
I was also fortunate to have a menopause clinic in my health board area and a locum GP made a referral for me. However its a 4-6 month waiting list as it only runs for one afternoon per week.
By the time I receive my appointment its March 2018 and this is when, armed with information from Diane and the group I really do march into see the Menopause specialist.
Tune in to my next blog to find out where it takes me.
