Hi – I am new here, and hope someone can help
I have endometriosis, severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I'm currently going through the menopause. I am experiencing unpleasant menopausal symptoms, which are worsening the CFS, so I'm considering trying HRT.
I am looking for a (probably private) Menopause specialist/consultant who specialises in endometriosis.
I also have hypermobility, which can be affected by taking hormones, so would need someone who also has a good understanding of this too.
Furthermore, I have allergies, gut issues, and other complex health issues related to the CFS, so would need them to have a good understanding of my overall condition, and how it may be affected by taking HRT.
It is vital I find someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about all of the above, so they can help me weigh up all these potentially conflicting needs, and find the best solution for taking HRT, and managing the menopause.
I have read different advice about whether a Menopause Specialist or Consultant would be better for me. I think the title is less important than finding someone with the relevant experience knowledge and expertise. I need to find the right person to my particular needs.
I have no idea how to find this very specialised help. I don't know if it is permitted to ask for recommendations on this forum – if so, I would appreciate it very much. Any other information relating to my situation would be gratefully received. Thanks so much
