I had a BRILLIANT consultation with my GP yesterday.
Hubby and I were treated disgustingly - at one point, he even turned to my Hubby and said 'why are you puffing out your cheeks like that? The NHS isn't a bottomless pit you know'! He treated my Husband like a 6 year old. He was only trying to advocate on my behalf and offer me support.
I'm DONE with this practice!
The reason for our visit yesterday was to state that there was NO WAY I was prepared to take 200mg Utrogestan continually ON ITS OWN
(no estrogen) as prescribed by my Consultant as I'd end up a basket case on it. To be honest, I don't think the GP even knew what Utrogestan is!
If I had been given HRT as requested over a year ago instead of being palmed off with AD's and shunted off to mental health services, I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in now. Even my psych. agrees with this and phoned to speak to the GP ahead of my appointment yesterday. When I mentioned this, the GP just said 'mmm'. WTH does that even mean?!
It's hopeless - it really is. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worse here in Scotland than the rest of the UK?
