Morning ladies. Sorry, but I just wanted to have a moan and this is the only place I know I could go to really let off steam !!
So I went to see a private meno specialist a couple of months ago and she suggested I try Oestrogel, Utrogestan and Testogel. She wrote to my GP for them to prescribe for me. I thought it would just be a case of them issuing a prescription on her recommendations but, oh no, I then had a right old fandango because they wanted me to make an appointment to see GP before they would prescribe. Anyway, finally got to see someone and they let me have a month's supply. Forward on nearly a month and as I seem to be doing ok on this regime, I put in a written request this week for another prescription. I received a phone call from the surgery this morning saying that GP wants me to go in for another review before I can have anymore medication. Grrrr....I told receptionist that I'm getting low on the gel and she said she would call me back. I then received a call from a nurse saying the doctor can see me NEXT FRIDAY. When I told her I was getting low, she said “well it won't matter if I don't take it for a few days. WHAT !!! It's taken me over 2 years to find something that might be working for me and she doesn't realise how ill I've felt in this time. How dare she 😡😡😡
Needless to say I didn't get anywhere and I'm having to wait until next Friday to see a doctor.
So sorry for this long rant but needed to get it off my chest.
Wishing you all well.
