Hi Dg
Thx for the welcome.
After the most recent bloods I had taken - that confirmed prem meno - I was sent a letter saying 'we're here to support you thru this transition...' by my dr's (I don't always see the same one). But there's been no mention of HRT. I don't know if I can/should request getting my bones checked...or what that's even called! All the symptoms are quite bearable tbh, it's the anxiety that's truly affecting my life. I saw the GP last night and he seemed to think it's more a general anxiety issue than meno related. He prescribed me Sertalin (?) antidepressants and referred me for counselling. I've had counselling before tho and altho she was a nice person, she seemed about 21 and I think I knew more about it all than her just from self help books!
So the plan at the mo is to try the antidepressants (altho I'm v wary) - tried Prozac once and hated it. Get fit (just joined a gym)! Eat better and go for the counselling. Here's hoping things will improve.
Like I mentioned in another post, I'm just not sure about what stage I'm at...once I've gone 12 mths w/out a period, does that mean you've HAD the meno or you're IN the meno???
Thx again
