Hi there,
I am new to this site, it was recommended to me.
My main issues are insomnia, hot flushes, irritability, sense of overwhelm, fatigue, painful sex.
I have been trying all sorts of things rather than HRT, namely;
healthy diet, exercises. oils, magnesium, Evening primrose oil, herbs, acupuncture,
But today after another bad nights sleep, rang in sick, booked a GP appointment, got prescribed Kliovance, took one look at all the side effects, the everyday ones rather than the breast cancer ones and thought this is going to make my existing high levels of anxiety worse.
I have had anxiety / low mood all my adult life.
The reason Klivance was prescribed was partly because I cannot swallow capsules, to be honest i struggle with tiny tablets, not quite a year without periods but almost there, say 11 months,
I am not sure whether to seek a private gynae consultant opinion, the GP consultation was so short and perfunctary.
Any thoughts, advice gratefully received, thanks for reading.
