One more thing to add if I may.

Women know their own minds and bodies. When they go to their GP and say that they know something's wrong and their periods have been missing, GP's should investigate rather than fob them off with Ad's. This happened to me - the GP was female, I was 38 at the time. The GP said my body was hibernating like an animal! Admittedly at the time my periods seem to stop over the winter time, but for goodness sake, what type of response is that from a medically qualified person?

Hi danz

I presume you've had your meeting now?

Please can you feed back to us - we spent a while giving you our thoughts! Did you use them, and were they helpful in terms of your meeting? This is a subject that is very important to us so any progress made especially at high level is so encouraging.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Only just seen this thread....but I would like to see training for nurse/nurse practitioners in every GP surgery. If the GP is clueless he could send patients to see a the nurse.., like they do for blood tests etc, ...they even pass them on for training as to how to use asthma inhalers etc. New mothers get taught how to mother, we should be shown how to manage meno.  Go through all these symptoms from depression to joint pain, atrophy to dry eyes and if that's not enough, pass them on to a specialist.
