Its ok for some people to say its a natural process & to not medicalise it, but when your suffering with menopause symptoms, you want all the help that you can get.
Arthritis could be seen as a natural disease because it mostly is caused by wear & tear, but we still treat it? So how is menopause any different?
My lady GP when i told her i think i have hormone problems, as i didn't think it was perimenopausal, barely looked up from her computer screen & said I'll give you AD. And i was like, no i don't want them. And i specifically asked to see the GP who deals with this problem.
I left my GP even more confused & desperate.
If it was a man's problem, I'm sure it would be taken more seriously. Controversial i know but its how i feel.
