Hello, I am all very new to this. My Doctors said at the grand old age of 41 I was peri menopausal. Not many symptoms so decided to pretty much ignore it, however fast forward 5 yrs and I can no longer ignore it. As someone who is always cold, hot flushes have completely taken me by surprise and horror, as has the protruding tummy I've never had before, the random chin hairs (why??) the brain fog - particularly helpful when you work in a male dominated environment, terrible headaches and mood swings, lucid enough to know im being unreasonable but not enough to stop!!
Anyhow I tried to make an appointment with the menopause specialist, they don't have one so I was slotted in with the nurse, I did research before I went, I asked for Bio Identical Gel, she said not available on the NHS, I asked for something which wasn't a tablet so I had 2 prescriptions for different types of sequential gels; It took so much for me to get there and get the prescription but not no local pharmacy can fill it and they are blaming Brexit?
Any suggestions or help appreciated.
Thanks
