Perimenopause...maybe but we can't help....

Well, I saw a Doctor. Unfortunately, I don't think hormones and menopause were really her field, as I believe is the case with most Doctors. Which is a real bummer considering every single woman is going to experience this at some time in their lives.
I went in there fully armed with all my symptoms and all the information i've read about about perimenopause and my family history. She listened to me. To a point. Though despite all the information I gave her she still made suggestions that the iron tablets I had been prescribed might be causing me nausea (I had the nausea BEFORE the iron tablets) and then she suggested I might be pregnant despite me having gone over my cycles and personal information. The upshot of all of it being that she said at 41 i was too young for her to prescribe HRT and said that i needed to be referred to an endocrinologist...mentioning under her breath things like cushings and lupus....neither of which my symptoms fit with, but ok, fair enough, cover all bases. Finally, she prescribed me anti emetics for the morning sickness like nausea. Which having left and collected my prescription I discovered has contraindications with 2 of my regular medications and I can't safely take them.
I felt defeated. facing a wait to see an endocrinologist who may or may not discover anything and no answers or support or help. I cried then. Everything i had read on the menopause forums was true. People are not being helped with this, they are being given the wrong treatment and are being left feeling completely lost.
Jon stepped in then. We'd talked about the fact there might be a need to see someone who specialises in this privately and Jon said right, we tried, lets call the clinic. The clinic being Dr Newson's in Stratford upon Avon. So, we called them up and chatted to a wonderful lady who was so sorry i'd hit a wall with my GP and got us an appointment for March 22nd. She gave us all the info and booked us in. Job done. I'm seeing Dr Rebecca Lewis and i'm so soo thankful to be in a position to afford to access this. I hope so very much to have some answers soon,

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
