Its almost maddening when you here that the doctors are going to be paid £50 extra to diagnose certain complaints.
Perhaps they should be docked £50 every time they fail to identify and treat a problem or say something unprofessional (poison comment).
DG so your off HRT for over 1 year now, sorry to ask but how long did it take before bladder atrophy kicked back in?
Are you going to go back on.
As I mentioned yesterday that's one area I don't want to return to. Was out for a long drive recently and it was bliss not having to panic about when/where the next loo stop was, something that was not the case prior to starting HRT.
Taz, as for the meno clinics, not had any experience of them (yet), just local docs.
Either should respect your wishes then move on and prescribe what patient wants.
Same applies the other way if we wish not to have a treatment or operation, its our choice in the end.
I'm not trying to be funny, but it's almost like they are ensuring job creation for the docs.
Forcing a stop at 60 then having plenty of customers coming back regularly with post meno complaints due to lack of HRT.
At a time when they are trying to save money and doling out statins and ad's like no tomorrow.
They don't even have long term usage data on statins yet and the side effects are awful too (includes causing type 2 diabetes).
Just thought I'd also point out that statins cost more than HRT.
HRT = can be as low as £0.10 to £0.20 per day
Statins = £1.00 thru to £2.30+ per day
Imagine the outrage if diabetics got to 60 and they said "right better get you off that poison, no more insulin for you"!
No one would put up with that.
