Hi all
No change in symptoms, balance/dizziness driving me insane, hips achy and legs feel like they won't carry me, back of neck really tight probably due to not moving my head much tho because of my dizziness. Have not left the house since 4th Jan, not functioning at all. Still taking the meds G.P gave foe balance, dizziness but these are hardly touching me.
I put a call in for the surgeon who completed my op ( stupidly, in hindsight, went via insurance and the surgeon has not liaised with my G.P at all, so my G.P is just taking my word for op and the prescribed Tibolone presently, that's another hurdle. ( He thinks my symptoms are due to a virus, this is the 7th week and no improvement, he dismisses me when I speak about hit, hormones, previous op.....
Eventually, a week later he has phoned me to state that the "episode" which I do believe was a hormone crash as you have mentioned is probably nothing to do with the surgical procedure, he has never come across this before but to stop Tibolone and contact him in two weeks, if I feel the need. (He is so bad at responding)
I have contacted our local Pals group who have stated south tees have no menopause clinic to contact for advice and I am not in the "system" re my TAH/BSO as I went via insurance. Fantastic.......
I have read on NiCE guidance that if you enter into surgical menopause as a result of surgery you should be referred to a healthcare professional with expertise in menopause, good luck there then, similarly if you are prescribed hrt you should be monitored by a healthcare professional with expertise at 12 weeks than annually, I was given Tibolone told to take for three years, case closed!!!!
I will speak to G.P re who is allocated healthcare professional and who is reviewing my HRT .....wish me luck as 1, he has no knowledge of my being prescribed Hrt and 2, he himself has stated his knowledge re hrt/hormones is limited. He offered me anti-depressant when I said I could no longer cope feeling like this and I needed support, he has referred me to dizzy clinic, app 3rd June!!
Apologies for ramblings, but I really need someone's opinion on stopping Tibolone suddenly, will I have another "episode" as this really scares me.
