Title: Talking therapy to ease menopause flushes
Post by: CLKD on November 17, 2023, 03:01:35 PM
 :bang: :beat: :poke2: :kick:    :angryfire:

some1 needs their head putting down a loo and the flush pulling .......... which bit of hormonal upheaval don't these 'experts' get  >:(

Headlines in the Daily Telegraph.  Victoria Atkins - new to the post of Health secretary by 3 days? 'the guidance would help women strolling with symptoms to "go back to living their lives to the full" '   She'd know then.   :neutral:

I know that the NHS is short of funds: but NICE should know better than support/suggest something that has no clnical background or Research.  Dr Newson is 'disappointed'.  Personally I am APPALLED  >:(

There’s no way that talking therapies would have helped my symptoms! I find the suggestion quite patronising.

That's a good way of looking at it.  Hurdity has started another thread elsewhere  ::)

CLKD - sorry - I did not see your post here because it's in "Other Health Discussion" rather than the main menopause section, and it's about menopause! I rarely look at this section, and possibly others don't look so much here either. Hopefully some sort of discussion will occur somewhere!

Hi CLKD, sorry l missed this, l've replied on Hurditys thread, but 100% agree with you. l am also appalled as we are going backwards here! I fear this will mean more delaying tactics in actually  prescribing women the treatment they need and deserve. I despair!
