Our surgeries meno nurse has joined the surgery lately from the gynae clinic. She was the one who first said I'd benefit from it, but the gps she asked said no way. That got me really fighting. How dare a group of Drs who don't know me have their say on me? Fiancée wants to get married and I couldn't whilst my libido was down the pan, it had always been so good in our relationship before meno
I stumbled across this lovely GP, she's Indian with small children but my god she cares about her patients, she's been there as long as I have and I'd never heard of her, turns out she's the one fiancée saw about his continuous gout attacks and she was astounded he'd never been referred to a specialist to get the correct dose of treatment, he's now under a rheumy and receiving correct dose of meds
I don't think it's postcode lottery, I think it's finding the right GP who will (if they're worried about prescribing) will contact the right gynae, my GP admitted she had no experience but was impressed with how much research I'd done . I'd asked her if I go private would she prescribe on NHS and she said she would but for me to please wait while she fights my corner for free treatment first. From our initial phone call to prescription took about a week to 10 days, I honestly thought I'd wait months but she even bypassed gynae appt as I said I don't need a gynae to see me, they need to just know my story
