Doctor says not menopause symptoms! I call BS
Posted , 5 users are following.
well just returned from Dr office again and was told that my symptoms are not menopause and that memopause is hot flashes, dry vagina and mood swings. this angers me, how many women are out there are suffering like we are ? i now know that yes i am suffering from menopause and yes there are so many more symptoms. so thankful i pushed for hrt as it has helped me immensely. i still have issues but they are somewhat manageable. you guys help me stay sane thank you so much.

Sorry I have been away from this site , well I had all kinds of symptoms, and most have gone now but included: Nausea, dizziness, floaters in my eyes, bloating, heart burn, internal vibrating, digestive issues ( gurgling intestines , diarrhea , constipation) sore knees, anxiety, ear pressure and pain, brain fog, depression, sensitive teeth . so after all my specialist appts came up with nothing. I begged my dr to put me on HRT . I started that in March - all of those things have slowly disappeared but now have: mood swings, itchy skin, sore joints, bad taste in my mouth, waves of depression and anxiety and it seems like I am just day dreaming in a trance. I feel like bad every single day but I do get some relief 3 or 4 hrs a day. I know that I should be celebratory but its almost a tease cause you feel good, you think its over, and then wham it drags you back under. its a big let down every time. I am not sure whats worse for my mental health being almost ok or totally not ok.

ah bless you. I feel the same as you I always seems to have new symptom every month. After suffering from constipation I bought some detox tablets they seem to be working. But with the bowel changes I've got piles and now anal fissures! Feel like I'm passing sharp razor blades! My bottom is itchy and sore 😫
I'm fed up of calling the DR as ive always got a new symptom and my DR cont keep up! I've been referred to check my colon now. Had bowel tests all clear.
I'm so fed up

good luck with your test.

i actually for the first time ever had 5 decent days in a row, all the supplements etc must be working, unfortunately im in the middle of my period now and things have gone downhill, my gp actually agrees with me that hrt estrogen wouldnt be great for me has my estrogen is either top end normal or really high, im hoping to do this naturally as i already have fibroids and fibrocystic breasts driven by estrogen x

I started feeling like I was falling apart/ageing quickly at age 46 . I am now 50 ( in full menopause for 18 months) but I think back now and I do believe that I was experiencing perimenopause for a few years before that and just didnt realize that is what it was.
