My GP practice won't give me a further repeat prescription for patches until I have completed their online review form. The problem with the form is that the design is very poor. In the section about menopause symptoms which I might have, there is only a very basic list covering things like hot flushes , night sweats, brittle nails etc but none of them applies to me. I want to add vaginal atrophy, prevention of osteoporosis and muscles/joint aches but I don't have the option to add anything. I am wondering whether to lie and tick one of them just to get it past the GP. I have already messaged the reception about this but with no satisfactory reply.
Has anyone else come across this? I don't know whether it is a standard form used by all practices.
I decided to go ahead with the form. I found a way to get around the problem by adding additional text to my reply about which HRT I took. I added Vagifem and stated that VA & osteoporosis were missing from their questions.
