I have after about 6 months of suffering insomnia, hormone imbalance, skin itching and rashes, joint pain, bladder weakness, hair loss, and incredible hunger, been told by my neighbour! ...... my neighbour! that my problems are typical of being post menopausal. now it all makes sense, but what i am baffled over is that in that 6 months i have been back and forward to my GP. all they gave me was analgesia, steroid cream and sleeping tablets but at no point tied it to me being post menopausal. I have a new appt this Friday at the surgery and armed with this new information and the fact I felt nigh on suicidal mid week I am going to be very interested to hear what they have to say,what they will now do about it ? and most importantly why they dont have a better knowledge?
