Well, it does seem to gave got worse since all the publicity with Davina McColl et al gave the topic. I know we hoped it would improve things but it clearly hasn't.
The NHS is happy to prioritise large numbers of certain people who haven't contributed a penny to the NHS like we have (sorry don't want to do go down the route on this wonderful site of mentioning too much about that) but we really do seem to be being prevented from being well unnecessarily. We are being let down yet again & no one seems to care.

That documentary slagging off Newson clinics was an organised witch hunt and complete BS. It wasn't even remotely convincing either.

I used to think Kristy Wark was a good TV presenter on Newsnight but she came across as a mindless air head on that documentary and she was the same in the documentary she did on the menopause a few years ago in Scotland.  Stupid, embarrassed laughter and no substance and look what's happened.

Nice hit job and great attack on women's menopause treatment.  That wretched documentary had set women back once again and it suited the NHS to jump on the bandwagon and cut costs.

I'm trying to help my sister who is being failed by the NHS and I'm finding the private menopause clinics expensive but far superior to the NHS and their knowledge is completely up to date. If you can afford it, get proper menopause treatment at a private clinic.

It'd definitely had a negative impact because of the stern warning from.my GP to be careful what I watch. It's a fine line between getting help & complying & letting the so called professionals know we are in possession of a huge amount of good information. I do wonder with my GP, if 3 months of Intrarosa helps, whether she'll refuse to supply it on the NHS. Her comments about weight loss jabs were that if you can afford to get a private prescription then you have no right to ask for follow-up prescriptions on the NHS. She said its surgery policy to refuse. I wonder if that means everything will be the same.

I believe only a minority of the perimenopausal and menopausal women on psychiatric medication actually need it. My approach would always be to adequately restore ovarian hormones first, and then any physical or psychological symptoms that remain, that's when individual treatment for these becomes reasonable.

Do you really believe this in the case of psychosis ?  A GP can give antidepressants but in my experience do not give antipsychotics.
Maybe too many antidepressants are given out where HRT would be better.

Your friend mentioned above may have been masking her illness well until perimenopause brought it out.

My daughter was bipolar managed to wean off Lithium in her 30s and stay well through excercise etc until she hit perimenopause.

A 'friend' then convinced her that HRT was going to solve it.  An NHS prescrition for Evorel Sequi was unlikely to "adequately restore ovarian hormones" as you describe.  That may have required a utopian world or deep pockets.

Re: Utrogestan 100mg update

I was put on Utrogestan 100mg nearly 3 wks ago and also put back on my oestrodial gel after a break from it.
My sleep has significantly improved, my mood is brighter and I feel that I’m getting back to myself,  not 100% but certainly on the way.
I still get a bit of anxiety but control it with clonazapam which I have for my MH.
Coming off the oestrodial impacted my mental health which in turn exacerbated my OCD.
This too has diminished, not gone completely,  but a lot better.

Just thought I would update you all, as it’s good to hear positive news about us ladies on HRT.

I’m now into my 4th wk back on oestrodial gel and taking 100mg Utrogestan at night.
It’s working but I’m not there yet.
I’ve had a couple of days where I’ve just felt so depressed.
How long before this gets me back to my normal self?

Could somebody please let me know  how they are doing on this combination of HRT?

I need some reassurance- thank you 😊

I did post the other day with an update, see above (so I don’t have to write it again) which mentions my MH.

Interesting thread
 Was that said 9in bold) in relation to your weightloss jabs, that you must not ask for a repeat on the NHS?

I too am on weightloss injecgtions, since January. I have never asked my surgery to supply it, I self fund and happy to do so , but I noticed only the other day a note on the bottom of my prescription slip in CAPITALS saying not to be supplied by the community pharmacy blah blah blah. Cheek of it. I have never even considered asking for it from them!   >:(
 
I also fully agree with other points on this thread, I suffer from very bad anxiety, always been anxious - but BOOOOM, since perimenopause I am a shadow of my former self. I crumble at anything, overthink, over analyse, go in spirals, so much so that I was recently diagnosed as autistic. That explains my inability to regulate my emotions, much much worse since perimenopause. I was coping, masking it seems, pretty well, living as a normal person with a normal life before this. Now I feel unable to cope with a lot of things. 'life' is hard for me now.. I even had to resign from work, I am not claiming benefits thankfully as we don't need me to, but I would be unable to go through with all that palaver anyway. I'm SO grateful for that, and I feel so badly for other ladies in my position, ikt is awful..
