is anybody having trouble getting hrt from their gp, i was on hrt till i was 55 then it was stopped. i felt great on it but have put up with horrendous menopause symptoms. i am at the end of my tether  i am a 62 year old healthy woman, i don't drink, have never smoked, am not over weight and i am not on any medication, my gp refuses to give me hrt even although it would make my quality of life 100% better. I have been told the risks and read about them but to me the benefits outway the risks, smokers get patches alcoholics get pills, junkies get methadone and the obese get gastric bands and it should be my choice if i want to take the  risk and take HRT
