i gave him my symptom list: headaches, migraines, exhaustion, sleep problems, nausea, increased indigestion,wanting to be alone, irritated with the whole world, crying at the drop of a hat, dizziness, ringing in my ears, pelvic pain, itchy dry skin, memory problems, body aches, joint pains, uncomfortable vulva, weight gain, hot flushes and night sweats.......He looked at me and said only hot flushes, memory problems and headaches are due to menopause (out of my list)..... What the...! Seriously? Are they all soooooo out of touch with what we are really going through....!!?? (Just need to have a rant)😝😔😬😖😫

    I have read so much on here about how little doctors know that I haven't even tried my doctor, lol!  I read what you guys write about and get familiar with what is happening to me, and yup...at 47 it is perimenopause, end of story...I'll live...maybe feel like dying many days...but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I don't need a doctor to mess with me even more when they don't know much anyway.  So far I have found things that help my individual experience, and I really don't feel so bad these days.  I take the rough days in stride and rest...on the good days I get everything done that has been neglected.  Everything that comes up I just blame on hormones and it works for me!  LOL!

      I'm really happy that works for you, Indifferent. I put off going to the doc for about 4 years.... Then I only went there coz I thought I might need a prescription and I was at the end of my endurance.....

    Think your gyno should retire Lisk. It makes me so angry to hear that all of the symptoms that come that we have not suffered from before are brushed under the carpet as if we're imagining them

    Surely the doctors must have many woman complaining about the same symptoms

    I don't get hot flushes my main symptoms are neck pain, aching legs, dizziness and poor balance, I feel I could fall over vet easily. Also headaches, migraine nausea the list goes on

    I got fed up panicking and crying and just decided to just get on with it, some days are harder than others but changing my attitude towards the symptoms has really helped me, I've decided to not worry and just live my life

    Just keep going Lisk and things will eventually ease I forgot to say I get breathless as well 😆 Could go on and on

    Take care and lots of love xx
