4 on the box is nothing to do with the GP! it's the Pharmacist who put the product into the box 
Why the sad face?
Sometimes, the way I deal with difficulties gets on people's nerves.
The chemist had to order both items in, and I had to wait a day, and I also phoned them before pickup, and if they owed me anything, they would have said, but as it was an order, I think its unlikely.
I never thought to say this in the last posts, because it didn't occur to me. This is common with me, I find it nigh on impossible to control.
There is a crossing out on the box label. The words 'apply twice' is crossed out and it says "apply ONE patch TWICE a day", just like that.
I am being assessed by a psychologist, to test my mental functioning for things like Asperger's ADHD, etc.
I'm not worried about this, in fact, it's something that has pi55ed people off about me in the past, as the difficulties I have had upset them, for instance, teachers were forever losing their tempers with me, because of the way I found it impossible to sit still and they used to get really angry that my mind wandered and I was 'in a world of my own'.
I used to come out with things that were socially or interpersonally inapropriate, saying the wrong thing etc.
These difficulties have followed me throughout school and employment and made life a real challenge.
Gynaecologically, I grew up with no problems. My periods were really easy in comparison with most. Minimal period pain. No PMS/PMT or whatever other name the condidion has.
I have always struggled emotionally, and my anger was always inwardly turned rage, yet, up untill peri, I was never affected emotionally by hormones in a negative way.
My low moods could happen any time of the month, and emotionally. my periods were uneventful.
My low moods were caused by interpersonal difficulties and responses to life experiences, events as and when.
So, then along came the menopause, and it suddenly felt like I had taken a miserable pill, it was the first time hormones affected me in this way.
You have to admit, my adventures with HRT have been a bit ridiculous in terms of pure misfortune.
I know that femoston works for the vast majority of users, but not me.
One negative GP experience-happenstance
Twice - co-incidence
Thrice - joke
Even bigger joke, first doctor in menopause herself.
I get conti prescribed in error at first. Then I go through the slog of trialling them, including months of feeling down right pi%%ed off with life in general.
Then I get a trainee doctor who gives me wrong info, so I go through the time and money of talking to Dr Currie, and then, Doctor number three goes and prescribes me not enough patches of too low a dose.
So, when things get like this, and other people make errors etc, or there are hiccups, I dont really deal with it very well, but, I am still here, still alive, where others would not have given up long ago.
