Every single GP surgery in the world needs at least one Dr Nighat! Where do we stand on cloning in the NHS?? This episode should be a must watch for every single person in the world. ❤
I picked up my vaginal oestrogen today! I am so excited to get back to myself. The UTIs since perimenopause have been so frequent and the thought of having to keep taking antibiotics for that was frightening as that is so detrimental to mental health and gut health. To hear it is also going to help with my sleep is amazing, alongside my HRT & Magnesium, I'm sure I'll sleep like a baby. THANKYOU ❤🎉
The Doctors won’t tell you this. I had reoccurring UTIs. Probably 10:over a year ,Doctors kept prescribing antibiotics. One day I bought some Cranberry pills with vitamin C&E from Grape tree shop . I’m in Uk , I’d only taken 2 pills in a 24 hour period and the UTI stopped. Never thought these would work but they did. I can’t believe Doctor didn’t mention me to try these . The ones I take are by Fito . They are like £6 a bottle for 40. I suffered so much , I don’t want any other woman to go through it !
I’ve had a hysterectomy and was prescribed estrogen (estradiol). I’ve put 10 kilos on, I had so much rage that nearly cost me my job, brain fog, cognitive impairment, memory issues, hot flashes, you name it! My body couldn’t absorb the estrogen and stored it as fat around my organs. No doctor was able to come to that conclusion. I stopped taking estrogen by my own initiative and started to read what I could put my hands on about menopause. I’ve tweaked my diet, changed my fitness routine and learned about what my stress triggers were. Unfortunately, HRT didn’t work for me.
I could write a dissertation length essay of my perimenopausal journey as could any woman, and even though I know what’s happening, some day I want to go into a quiet field and just scream. As a woman with many medical issues already, I am told I can not use HRT because I am a warfarin user. I felt like the HRT boat sailed away and is t coming back to shore. Just like I did. I’m not feeling like myself, is just so true! And I haven’t felt like myself in over three decades, because of depression, and once clotting disorder was discovered, not only did the depression port come into port, but the hurricane of anxiety blew in too. As a mother of five, one of whom is autistic, I’ve been in my home and not going out for about 15years, ( I only go out for medical appointments) so when covid hit, I already had an Olympic medal for staying indoors. Now at age 53 I would so love to go outdoors, and every day I say, maybe tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes. Thankyou, both of you for continuing to help us women understand the processes that happen to us, even if, as one A&E doctor told me, “ It’s a natural process, there’s nothing wrong with you!” So I sit in my cave and hide hoping that one day the mental door I have built can be taken away x
Great conversation- I am a 59 year old post menopausal woman, I have hot flushes, joint pain, anxiety, brain fog, poor memory & headaches, never been on HRT, what can I do when I can’t even get a doctors appt or I am told I am not giving you HRT?
Amazing ladies ❤ I am a brown skinned lady and I suffer in silence, because I get malasma and my doctor will not give me anything for my menopause as it will make my malasma worse due to hormones worsening hyperpigmentation and malasma. Would be amazing if some advice could be offered to any lady who can not be helped by GPs due to skin issues xx ❤
