Right now I'm trying to process that the last 6 years of my life I've been prescribed antidepressants referrals to "out patients mental health" when all I needed was HRT!!!

I think there a lot of ladies out there in this situation… GPs are so keen to hand out antidepressants! X

aren't they just! I'm so relieved I'm on the right path now.

I’m so pleased for you … HRT changed my life ! Xx
I had to fight for it though .. more than most because I’ve had breast cancer x

that must of been such a battle! There is such a wide range of treatments I'm not surprised you thought for something that suits you and your previous struggles. Good for you Rebecca 👍 😊

Thanks
The NHS wouldn’t listen to me .. so I went to Newson Health… they were amazing.. now I get all my HRT apart from the testosterone on the NHS xx
Don’t get me wrong I did loads and loads of research and also talked to my oncologist etc x

If you don't take things into your own hands nothing gets done! I have read a lot. I'm know expert but learning more and more everyday. Now I'm on HRT I can concentrate and retain new information. Before HRT I was a zombie! Knowledge is key ☆

am looking at taking this as a option HRT. Like you said you just feel a zombie, i do and have so much brain fog, my bones are aching etc, feeling fatigue, very tired, and i have the coil fitted so no periods which would be easier if i did them i would notice if there more up and down. am reading about medication for me, and whats best. I think am perimenopause I know am not right in my self. I spoke to my doctor this week and I pushed for it to say I know how I am feeling and I think it's perismenopause, might be even menopause, do you uslaly get all the sysmtons? And advice? And doc said can't test through a blood test I though you could, then doc mentioned test through a hormonal test or some thing. Thank you lots. X
