Thanks Hurdity I will do exactly as you say ref the provera.
Mary G - I don't really have money to go private and it is very difficult because I live in Northern Ireland so I would have to fly to England to see Professor Studd. I know its tacky to talk money but how much is a consultation with him? We have one meno clinic here at the Mater Hospital in Belfast. I got sent there in July but the Dr did not fill me with confidence it was just like seeing my GP. She was the one that prescribed the continuous regime.
I was thinking about borrowing money to go an see a private gynae here because maybe they would give me more than 20 minutes at a time to explain myself but although I can look up a list of about 5 here I have no idea whether any of them are any good and whether any of them specialise in the depression aspect. I love living here but unfortunately Northern Ireland is a bit in the dark ages medically - well we are about 7 years behind the UK with anything to do with living generally!!
Does anyone know how I can find out about the gynea's or will I just have to phone around and ask? - will the receptionists even know - its quite a specialist field of HRT isnt it? Is there anyone on the forum who lives here in Northern Ireland - maybe I could start a thread asking and they might be able to tell me who they see? As I have'nt got much money I would need to get the right person the first time.
I was thinking of emailing Dr Currie tomorrow but it says that she answer's questions - not that she can do a "diagnosis by email" bless her. As I am new to all this could one of you tell me how the process works for Dr Currie and what info I need to put down and in what format, if it is possible to get her to help me or is it just simple practical dosing questions that she can help with?
Sorry to bombard everyone with so much stuff all at once but I am desperate and this cannot continue. I have wasted 40 years of my life just putting up with this and the older I am getting the more I am thinking this is no life at all
- I have felt like this for years but it has been right at the edge for over 2 years now - its dangerous - but mental health people are not going to fix it - and now I am on this forum I see its unnecessary to continue this way - I just have to find the right person to help me. I suppose that will be easier to do now I have actually worked out what has been going on all these years.
Info about Dr Currie - and anyone in Northern Ireland seeing a meno specialist anyone?
