Im in Scotland Serena1972, not heard that nonsence before and I work in the NHS. See if there is a GP in a practice who has an interest in the menopause, if not ask GP to discuss you with local menopause specialist, that's what mine did if they are that ignorant they most definately should be discussing your symptoms & asking specialists advice, that is why we have specialists & usually they are quite happy to advise on treatment etc without having seen you. My GP twice emailed specialist and she got back to him the same day with advice re HRT regime. Don't stand for it. I had 3 years of doctors messing me about, if I'd known then what I know now!! Good luck x
