Hi edwina :hug:
I feel for you as I'm feeling very low myself at the moment.
Sorry but can't help you on the meno clinic in Colchester but just wanted to send you a hug and to say hang on in there.
Keep in touch. It helps even if it's just to say how you are feeling.

Hi Edwina,  Just thought I would mention I have seen a gynae at Ipswich Hospita1 earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised at how good he was at listening to my history (quite a lot of!).  I felt he took my concerns seriously, did an examination and clearly talked through the options I had.  Might be worth considering?  x
