At last! I have finally been told I can try testosterone on the NHS.
I saw another female in the practice, who' was more in the know about all things menopause. I quoted success stories from the women on here and the British Menopause Society paper again.
The gp had just been to a menopause conference herself and I think this helped her persuade the practice manager too.
So have to have blood tests to measure my T levels in a few weeks and then they'll be measured again after 6 months on T.
My personal supply of T finished a few months ago and I was prepared to get some more but was never 100% comfortable going 'off piste' so to speak. So this is a huge relief.
On a separate note, I've been taken off tibolone and put on Everol 50 patches, which will give me the oestrogen I need. I had a hysterectomy in my thirties and don't need progesterone and the tibolone wasn't doing anything for my libido.
So once again I'd like to thank everyone who's shared their experiences on here, I've found it invaluable and has given me the courage to keep going at times.
I'll share my experience of Everol and T on a separate thread in due course.
