Well, there's going to be something of a 'reckoning' when I see Professor Lumsden in just over 2 weeks.

I've been away for a while as you know - lots going on, meetings with old Gynaecologist, being referred to Professor of Edincrinology (just waiting for appointment) and meetings with Psychiatrist.
You will perhaps remember that I received a diagnosis of Bipolar and was due to start treatment. That hasn't happened. Since stopping HRT, the 'unstable mood' has abated and my Psychiatrist cannot now be confident with this diagnosis. It is believed that my issues were down to hormone imbalance and possible secondary hypothyroidism (hence why I've had problems stabilising on HRT).
If it wasn't for my old Gynaecologist, I would be packed full of antipsychotics by now! When my Psychiatrist contacted Professor Lumsden's office a few weeks back before I stopped Tibolone for advice, they were told 'just take her off the Tibolone and sort her mental issues out first'! Well, I stopped HRT completely and those 'mental issues' have now gone away.
I am beyond traumatised by all this, but am trying to pick myself up each day and carry on. I am of course relieved that I'm no longer on a nightmare rollercoaster.
Hubby is coming with me to my appointment and we will discuss all this with Professor Lumsden. I'll let you all know how I get on - by then I'm sure she will have a better picture of how seriously menopause and hormonal imbalance can effect women.
