Babyjane, it is happening RIGHT NOW. If you read my story, you will see that I ended up in a psychiatric hospital and was discharged again as the psychiatrist was thorough enough to realise my 'mental symptoms' were due to my surgically induced menopause and total lack of hormones from not receiving any HRT following my surgery and for a prolonged period thereafter.
It got so bad that the Psychiatrist my GP insisted on me seeing phoned an ambulance just a few weeks ago and had me sent to A & E as he said 'enough is enough . He was alarmed by my deteriorating physical condition and felt wholeheartedly that I clearly needed treatment for my hormone deficiency, and that I DO NOT have any mental problems. He has written a stiff follow up letter to my GP to reiterate this. Funnily enough, things regarding my commencing HRT are now moving (almost 18 months post operatively) but it's not great. The GP and I have not spoken about the 'A & E incident' yet, nor the stiff letter from the Psychiatrist, but funnily enough I'm seeing her tomorrow regarding my cardiology results, so it should be rather interesting.
If I get even an iota of 'mental problems ' spiel from her again during this appointment, I will be phoning the Consultant Psychiatrist immediately (he is totally on my side and refreshingly, one of the 'good guys'). And I'll be changing my GP practice.
I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow.
