Would I be right in asking for combined continuos hrt when I see the doctor tomorrow, have had no Period for over a year???

[Bette]

Yes, Shirley.
They're listed here (with an explanation of when they're appropriate) and I should avoid norethisterone if I were you, because of your hair loss issues.

Hi Shirley, great advice as usual from everyone, good luck with the docs and don't give up, I studied herbal medicine at one point and the best you can expect from sage is a very slight reduction in sweating. I hope you can try some hrt, no harm in giving it a go, and it could really really help.

Thanks Ivy, now I know what to ask for I feel more confident for tomorrow xx

[Shirley42]

Yippee!!!!! Back from the doctors a happy bunny, he has given me Premique to try, fingers crossed. Thank you all for all your help xx

That's great; let us know how things go. It's probably worth keeping a symptom diary as a basis for when you review it with him.

Susan, thats a really good list.  I never realised there was a long treatment cycle for peri's who have periods infrequently.  GPs put women on such unsuitable preparations.  Really most women would really benefit from taking a list into the practice and also interested to see the price of everything, which obviously influences decision, sadly!
