Hi VictoriaV,
my meno brain! I do not remember posting a link! Yes please post it in this thread , if you can find it please. That would be great! x
I am not sure of my levels either, but I figured that I may get a little pointer somewhere. And my high SHBG was it. I have managed to lower it a little. I was actually given T before covid by my NHS meno clinic , but I was too scared to take it! But I think in light of my latest results I may have to try.
There was no mention of testing, by them and I suspect that if I had taken it when covid hit , if I had any problems I would have been left - as all support was put on hold ( menopause is not a priority
) . My Gp said that I know more than he does, so that was not an option.
On an aside - my GP tried to put my estriol cream on hold until I made an appointment for a review! I informed the practice in writing that there was no sound clinical reason to withhold this medication, and if they did, they would be causing me harm. Next day they reinstated my access! What a waste of an appointment that would have been, especially as you have to wait 40 minutes to get through on the phone and then wait in all day for the GP to phone. ( rant over
)
This forum is so good as usually someone will advise or empathise and pass on information.
Best wishes PMxx
