Sorry ladies but wrong heading in my opinion there was nothing bravadic about this programme it did absolutely nothing to fight our corner.
If she had come in at the ground level via the nhs route and not Harley street then she would have, right from the off, given a truer perspective of what we the ordinary person on the street experience on a daily basis.the complete lack of expertise and knowledge from our inadequately trained gps and the lack of support we truly experience from the nhs system.
Yes they touched on bc but they omitted to say that the new guidelines have advised there's no increased risk of bc for oestrogen only users so shouldn't have made such a negative sweeping statement about increased risks.vaginal atrophy was mentioned in a whispered hush twice and not highlighted as it should have been as it's a major issue for the majority of women and again where the hell do they get these women participants from, the thought of going anywhere near a bike saddle would send my flaps into a tizzy and that applies to an awful lot of us from every walk in life.
I felt the only real insight we got into one area was the lady who's done the trials 're the hot flushes then was subsequently dumped and left right back where she started.very sad outcome for her efforts in being a guinea pig.
Mariella id say if you wanted to do a real update with real people search out forums like these and invite our kind of sufferers to take part, it would give you a clearer idea of the realities of living in the meno world and not the Harley street version.start at the base level like we have to do before desperation sends us to places like private clinics because we are so let down by public health.
I was very disappointed in it's content and felt that on the whole it only related to the chosen few who can afford to frequent sushi bars and Harley street practices not the ordinary mum's,grannies ,shop and office workers or unemployed or low income and there's a lot of us around.i also think it did a huge diservice to all the GPS and consultants who worked so hard on turning around the previous damming inaccurate report on hrt and created the new NICE guidelines they didn't even merit a mention that was shocking.my title would have been " bollocks mariella" not bravado mariella sorry.DD😘
