A drop in centre would be a good idea, one I've often thought should be encouraged. It's getting available space thats the problem. Most community centres want paid for hire of a hall.

Good you've got  GP who listens. Hope you feel the benefits soon.

This drop in centre thing has been on my mind for a while. It'd be great for women to have somewhere to go and chat and get advice - albeit just a pointer maybe in the right direction and connect with others in the same boat. It's way too easy to feel isolated and scared with meno symptoms.
May be a project in my retirement

Along with your Practice Nurse and perhaps a GP ………..

Hi Bo Snow,

This is one subject I know quite well - been on it twice in the past for generalised anxiety disorder.

It works on Noradrenaline and Seratonine receptors so really helps with anxiety. Please, please, please always take it with food otherwise you will feel nauseous.

So, like most ADs, they take their time to get into the system and start working so be patient, I know it's hard but it is worth it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hope you get on ok at doctor's. I remember how I felt a few years back when I took an HRT break. I'd be on here at 2 in the morning sometimes. We've all been made aware of potential problems with HRT, but why suffer. I chose quality of life as I was so miserable & I didn't work. I'm amazed at those on here who still manage to work through all the horrid symptoms.
