Menopause, endometriosis and CFS – help needed

Hi

I have endometriosis, severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I am currently going through the menopause. I am experiencing unpleasant menopausal symptoms, which are also worsening the CFS, so I'm considering taking HRT.

I am looking for a (probably private) Menopause Specialist/Consultant who specialises in endometriosis. This is important as the prescribing of HRT is different for those with endometriosis.

I am also hypermobile, which can be affected by taking hormones, so would need them to have a good understanding of this too.

Furthermore, I have allergies, gut issues and other complex health issues related to the severe CFS, so would need them to have a good understanding of my 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 solutions me around taking HRT, and managing the menopause.

I have read different advice around 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 for my particular needs.

I have no idea how to find this very specialised help I am looking for, short of contacting every Menopause Clinic in the country, which is clearly impractical!

Any information or recommendations would be very gratefully received

Thank you so much
