Hi Dee

Yes we can all help you!

I suggest you start your own new thread where you can ask all the questions you want. Your post here might get lost.

We’ve all been there and things will get better. Well done for getting the appointment to start hrt.

Take heart, it’s just your mind telling you that you might die, it’s not the real you, the you that has been overwhelmed my hormone deficiencies.

Hi Dee

Top of the screen press the Home tab, then scroll down and select what section you would like to start a new thread in say ‘All things menopause’, then press the New Topic tab.

Give the new topic a name and off you go.

It’s very individual how people respond to hrt, a lot of ladies take to it straight away whilst some it takes longer to find the correct delivery system and dosage.

Are you on testosterone gel? For me, this was the missing link that made hrt work better. It seems to create mental clarity and makes me less scared and less anxious.

Did any1 see the News this week.  Some are being diagnosed with dementia but the forgetfulness is caused by another condition completely?  Of course, I can't remember the whole article 


Found it:

Surgeons have set up a one-stop clinic to treat patients with a condition often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease.

The symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) include memory loss, poor balance, and bladder issues.

A team at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge is working to reverse NPH, using so-called "shunt surgery".

Clive Middleditch, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, whose wife Jackie was treated for the condition, described the result as "miraculous".

NPH is caused by an abnormal build-up of water in the brain, and typically affects the over-65s.

Doctors say it is frequently mistaken for untreatable forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, but is potentially reversible.


Something else to be aware of ?

Dee - R U feeling less worried?   

[Marchlove]

Rather coincidental that bladder issues are mentioned?!

[CLKD]

That crossed my mind.  As we age we don't feel thirst as previously = bladder issues. 

[Marchlove]

But all three our menopause symptoms CLKD!

Which is why women are being mis-diagnosed. 

[Marchlove]

Ah, I get it now, a  surgical intervention for the symptoms of menopause!

Good one. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad xx
