Annie0710 - I'd definitely give Tibolone a go first - could well do the trick. If you try this for 3-6 months and things are no better then go privately.
You say you feel rubbish - in what way? Have you had a good look at the your diet and exercise and lifestyle - sometimes some tweaking can make a big difference e.g. Vitamin D, Omega 3 oils - I did this recently - I was under the impression that my diet was good but when I really broke it down I was deficient in certain minerals and vitamins. Also, do you do lots of brisk walking? DG x
No DG, I don't do much exercise but I do make sure I'm getting all my vitamins etc. I'm lifeless, so badly lack energy and can't remember the last time I had even a smidgen of a sexy thought and when we do I'm sure for days after (am on Vagifem and Sylk) and have the weird sensations on bladder and bowel, I feel like I'm sitting in something and any movement can trigger the feeling of needing to pee/poo but if I move again the feeling can sometimes (not always) go again so I never know where I'm at whether I need the loo or not
I'm just tired of all this, she said today its iffy they will even agree to Tibolone as its contains progesterone and I've had a hysterectomy , they just don't budge from their outdated thoughts and certainly don't think about the well being of their patients
I work long hours Monday's and Tuesday's and babysit my grandchildren Wednesday's and Thursday's and all that alone leaves me so tired, my joints ache, my back has never recovered from the last herniated disc last October and due to a birth defect my mobility is somewhat compromised so walking is difficult for me (I can do short trips)
But to top it off I had a scan booked for 4.30 today by a company that is private but takes Nhs referrals, did all my filling up with 2 pints, turned up and the surgery is closed for training, I spoke to the pharmacist who said they'd been trying to tell people and I've just looked at my phone and I've had nothing from them
DeDiva - how sad the lengths we reach to get help :-(
Dazned - did you source your Androfem yourself or was it prescribed ?
I just want today over with now
