Honeybun - I agree with you completely.
I have had very mixed experiences with doctors, some have been great and others truly awful - as I know many on this site will share.
It's hard to sit in front of a doctor with nothing really wrong with you, other than exhaustion from lack of sleep, constantly drenched in perspiration and a burning fanny, to be told that he/she won't give you HRT because they believe it is too dangerous. It can take quite a lot of guts to stand your ground. Menopause is not a confidence booster.
