Mine took me off HRT when my blood pressure rose slightly - I was in a bad place with a lot of external stuff going on at the time. They took me off the Intrinsa Patches - which didn't do a lot anyway.
The Menopause specialist who while very nice said 'It is OK to give up sex'. Thank you but I am fighting to save it, OK rejuvenate it.
If I break my arm I will go to the Doctor but for anything else I will sort myself out. I have just come back from Turkey with Testogel. It certainly helps my head and I am a happier bunny for it. Not sure if the libido has reappeared yet but I have noticed a weight gain - which may be attributable to Hot Cross Buns and Red Wine too.
Anyway, I have no time for Doctors - they also said I have to 'put up with Arthritis'
