Well I rang the hrt clinic this morning and explained that I am sure I have pnd and how I feel. Initally they said go to gp but I explained I have been to six different gos and they all dismissed it so she said she would make me an emergancy appt with dr mcmanus there hopefully a cancellation as she classed it as an emergancy when I todl her how I have been
I mentioned prof studd etc and she knew exactly what it was and said I have no need to go to that expense as dr mcmanus can do the same thing for me here. Light at the end of the tunnel! !! Fingers crossed

Sorry but need to say this I just cant take this anymore.  Its been 15months of.pure hell. Its not just the constant pain and physical symptoms its the continous feeling of pure sadness . I dont think I will ever laugh or smile again. My personality has completely changed I hate everyone and everything doctors r completely useless and I dont have the energy to fight anymore. I give up hormones u win enough is enough.  No one understands this is a living hell.....

Sweetie it is hell and the sadness for some of us like me never goes away
My personality changed I became the Bitch Troll From Hell truly horrible and so sad@angry
But try to concentrate on good things thats what got me though
Go to GP sit and chat OK xxxxxxxxxxx

Well done for persevering!  Let us know how you get on on Friday.

It has made me think about those who dont have the suoport or ability to ask for help. I raised the issue of pnd with the hospital before birth after my son was born and to every midwife I came I  contact with since. Also the health visitors and no less than 6 separate doctors.  I even had to ask for my own hormone  profile at my post natal cuz I k ew something wasnt right.  The medical profession oay lip service to pnd but r actually clueless when faced with it. I have waisted 15 precious months with my baby and my 4 year old cuz no one would help. am I mad now hell yeah mo more I will sit on the floor of the clinic til I get what I want menopause my arse!! And menopause can kiss my ass . All suggestions for the prescription for oestrogen gel and bioidentical progesterone welcome!! They have already said they wont give me testerone. We will see. Mind u my bp was really high yesterday when the nurse checked it I felt like screaming no bloody wonder!!!

Best of luck for Friday, and well done for finding the courage to sort it out, very hard when feeling as you do I know.

[Clovie]

Best of luck for Friday, Tinkerbell !!

Just read your thread through, and I do feel for you, really I do.... xx

You are unlikely to get testosterone ……… have you looked at any of the Links to the various support groups for PND?

Let us know how you get on.

Good luck with your appointment Tinkerbellj!

At this point I am wondering why you want testosterone? It may well be that once you have started on the right dose of oestrogen you will feel heaps better. At a later stage you may well be able to try to ask for T especially if your libido is non-existent and doesn't improve with the oestrogen.  The new NICE Guidelines make provision for women to be prescribed testosterone off-licence and I am still waiting for a member to say she has been successful in obtaining this from her GP on the NHS (without specialist referral)
