Surgical meno hell again
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello again ladies, so sick and tired of all this. I made an appointment with GP yesterday to discuss all my symptoms and how im feeling, it took some courage as just walking through the door puts me in a state of distress. Well she was running an hour behind and I was so hot and dizzy when I finally did go in all I spoke about was my dodgy knees and not what I went in there for - I could tell she was rushing me and after she looked at my knees and told me it was cartilage problems I was ushered to the door. So here I am again stressing and feeling sick with all they symptoms - I can't go back again as it took all I had to get there let alone the stress of hanging around for ages. I feel a fool as nothing's changed and im in the same boat as I was before, I'm so angry with myself x

I really appreciate those words of encouragement. I am going to keep my appointment. I'm anxious about it, but I just want to get it over with. If you go to the A & E I know they will refer you to the doc, but if they check you over at least you can put that to rest a little.

It makes me wonder what it will take to drag some of our GP's into the 21st century, many have little or no understanding of peri/menopause. You say your GP knows you have anxiety but doesn't take the time to get to the root of the problem (it's easier to dish out leaflets for counselling). Don't give up but please don't go to A&E, they will refer you back to the GP anyway. Ask for a telephone consultation, at least you'll be in your own home and may find it easier to run through your concerns if you haven't had to sit for ages in the waiting room which is always a stressful experience.
Hope you get some relief soon
