Please Ria don't let them tell you it's depression or anxiety! They always say stupid things like that! Perimenopause is a real problem that doctors ignore! Be your one advocate ❤
Hiya, I really hope you get the help you need hun, I had to go on HRT patches last year and it really has helped! Plse keep on to them and see if you can get an understanding doctor xx
I totally understand I feeling shit and tried of being this way and yes my family is getting the rubbish me because I’m struggling, so thanks for not letting us feel we are alone ❤
Oh no hun I'm so sorry you are going through this. I have suffered with bad health for years, not menapause as im only 34 but plenty of other things and getting help nowadays seems impossible! To even speak to a Dr is a miracle you have to get through the guard dog receptionists first! If I had any advice I would be more than happy to help but my advice would probably get you thrown out of the surgery as I tend to lose my temper ha ha. I really hope you get the help u want and deserve on 24th. I did think you had seemed quite down lately on and off in your videos. When you watch someone every other day you can tell. I think you're wonderful as do all your other followers we won't go anywhere u need to concentrate on yourself and get yourself well again xxxx
So sorry, been there, done that. I had to wait 9 months to see a gynae whilst bleeding all of that time, had aches and pains all the time, low moods where I would stay in bed all weekend. I was lucky if I got 2 hours sleep a night! I remember sitting on the edge of the bed so many mornings crying because I didn't know how I was going to shower and get myself to work I felt so exhausted and awful. When I FINALLY got to see the consultant he put me on HRT patches and within a week I had I'd improved ! after a couple of weeks I was sleeping 5 hours a night ( not great but better than it was and I could cope) Within 4 weeks I was like a new woman, loads of energy, no aches or pains, no night sweats, no mood swings and the bleeding had stopped. I was on them for 10 years and would never have come off them but I had breakthrough bleeding so had to. I begged them not to take me off them but they did. By then I was 52 and periods then stopped thank God. Mood swings were back and insomnia, but not as bad as before and taking 1000mgs of Starflower oil, helped a lot. My recommendatio n ? - stick to your guns and INSIST on HRT we should not be made to suffer just because some teaching manual says 42 or whatever is TOO YOUNG! IF WE HAVE THE BLOODY SYMPTOMS WE NEED THE CURE!!!! And when you do get on them , if they suit you - STAY ON THEM , they will ward off so many effects of lack of oestrogen. Skin, bladder, prolapses, insomnia, brain fog to name but a few! Good luck my lovely, love and hugs from Wales ❤
I have a telephone appointment booked for next week because I am having all the symptoms and same as you have tried supplements but I would say the worst part for me is the low mood and the feeling of having no hope or joy it's awful and then I saw a video on RU-vid of a woman on This Morning that I urge you to watch if you have not seen it but she was sectioned because she became suicidal and they were treating her for a mental health issue when really all she needed was HRT and things had to get really bad for the poor woman before anyone questioned it but when they finally took notice and gave her HRT she was transformed. I sat up and took notice because she reminded me of myself and i do not want to become that person it sounds awful! Its a disgrace why we have to fight like this to be heard but I am so ready for the fight because the NHS website even states that you do not need tests to go on HRT if you have the symptoms. Keep going Ria and thank you for sharing, it's so important to talk and get these things out there. X
Been watching your vlogs for a while & absolutely LOVE you. I live in Dubai & have been for the last 26 years. I Lost my job wz Emirates cause of covid, so not a rich wealthy person that you normally see in Dubai vlogs etc...I love you, as you are so down to earth & a special person that i just love watching XX Went through the menopause in 2021 & just watching this today in 2024 made me realize why I've felt like you for the past few years...i just put it down to the extreme heat here...Hope you feel better soon & get the treatment you need...Keep posting as i love love all your vlogs...So humble & down to earth.
Aww Ria you poor love ❤️...I do hope you are able to get HRT to help you feel better. I'm struggling at the moment with various perimenopause symptoms too. I'm scared by it all and I've got endometriosis, 2 small fibroids and a strong family history of breast cancer so I doubt I will be able to have it and to be honest after seeing my mum take HRT for years and then get aggressive breast cancer (don't know if that was the cause though) I'm really fearful of it but I'm struggling too 😢. I think it helps with some symptoms but can give you others so I don't think it's a magic pill unfortunately. I'm seeing my gynaecologist in August so we'll see. To be honest I'm just looking forward to our holiday in September and I find something every day even if it's a walk with my husband and pup or a cup of tea or looking at my flowers in the garden to help me feel a bit better..it sounds silly but it helps me a bit. I have terrible period cramps right now but no period for over a month and I get feelings like you described can't be bothered, feel irritable or crying the next or not sleeping well...its awful Keep us updated and sending you hugs ❤️
It's a disgrace women have to fight this hard for HRT! You don't need to just ride it out and it's not just you. Have faith in yourself ❤ Go for it Ria, don't leave that appointment without it 💪
I’ve been on hrt for about 3 months, my doctor was on it straight away when I told her my symptoms I don’t have many but the few I was having were effecting me badly. They didn’t do a hormone test. Also if you do go on hrt I’d recommend getting a hrt certificate which will cover your prescription for a year and it’s an initial payment, don’t let them Thob you off you know your own body and when somethings a miss, I really hope you get this sorted ria and that you will feel better, it’s no joke I know ❤
Just reading a lot of the comments my doctor and it was all over the TV that HRT increases the risk of breast cancer and I looked into so much in-depth research on it and apparently it doesn’t increase the risk. One in seven women in their lifetime will develop breast cancer regardless apparently that’s his stats but the professionals will keep throwing that at you all the time. Apparently the HRT they use these days although it’s synthetic it’s still made from natural ingredients apparently I have a history of breast cancer in my family and apparently I can still take the HRT but I was too scared to be honest because I kept hearing, and if you do the research you can start menopause from early 30s on every woman’s body. Some women suffer some women don’t poor mums and Nans who went through all of these and hardly anybody probably knew about it and they must’ve suffered terrible it’s only now people are starting to be open and talking about it. Also just so you know apparently there’s a new one off prescription fee I think it’s £25 for the whole year and it covers the whole of your HRT for that time. If you pay for your prescriptions I didn’t know that until somebody mentioned it to me just so you ladies know as well I hope this helps. X
@@joelizabeth12 yes I heard that too apparently though you take a progesterone tablet alongside HRT to stop that happening we have to be so careful before we make decisions don’t we x
Bless ya i started my menopause when I was 40 I was so bad feeling rough keep crying anxiety just tell them you need it they can't not give it to you I just so know what you're going through it's absolutely awful❤
I’m older than you are Ria and I’ve been through it too. I’m so sorry to hear you are suffering like this. Hopefully this doctor you are going to see will be able to help you. We all have a rant at some time or another so don’t feel bad about that . Thinking about you ❤
Wanted to give you a big hug the affect it’s affecting you like this they need to dam well pull there’s fingers out and help you . HRT is there for a reasen !your feeling more like this cos it’s working you up so much and stressing you out you know your body and your mental health so u k ow what’s right for you! Lots of love babe ❤xxxxx
hi ria 😊 its rubbish for us women im older than u and i think i told u before i went threw it without taking hrt, but everyone is diffrent and if u feel u need it they really should listen too u. i really hope you get it and it helps you. sending u love and hugs 😊❤❤
I feel for you Ria, its a very difficult time for us ladies x I started HRT last year at 51, I made an appt with a menopause specialist lady dr in our area as I knew my own male dr would be difficult to get HRT from - hes not the best at alll !! Anyway after a 4 month wait I met with the lovely lady dr, had an hour appt, she examined me from head to toe, had a good chat about my symptoms etc and preescribed the HRT, It did take a bit of time to kick in but I'm so much happier now , I still have anxious days and tired days but nothing like I was experiencing, looking back I left it too long to go on HRT as I was probably peri for 2 or 3 years beforehand trying supplements etc that didn't work, you will have to push for HRT by the sounds of it, which is awful but if it works and you get it its well worth it, take care RIa xx
Aww I feel for you Ria it's horrible when you feel like that especially when you know your own body and how it's reacting to the menopause xx. Davina McCall has done a lot to highlight this and also Liza Snowden have a wee look at some of their journeys with the same situation it might point you in a successful direction or where you can get help sooner my love ❤ good luck ❤❤
Ah ria, I really feel for you . I started my menapause at 47,suffer with constant tiredness as well snd dizzy heads , and uti infections which drive me mad. It does make you feel really low, I decided not to take hrt, but I do struggle . I hope you get some help with it soon ria . X
Aw Ria, when you see the Doctor- make sure you cry!! Seriously, break down in front of him/her - let them see just how desperate you are! Sending hugs chic xxx
Hi ria I went on hrt when I was 44 the symptoms I was having at that time was missing periods then having them so bd I was changing clothes t lest 4 times day from flooding sweats no sleep and irritable I went for bloodtest nd they said even though I was r4 I cud ho on hrt was brilliant I'm now 54 and came off it in January so I've been on it 10 yrs as I have high blood pressure and I've been on longer than I should but if u feel u need it n having symptoms just keep going back until they sort u out x
Your not to young women start perimenopause early 40s and. Younger. Its absolutely disgusting that they aren't giving it to you. It dosnt just affect you physically it affects you mentally. Please dont stop pushing for it. I know how hard it is, its life changing. Also explaine to the doctor that when you're going through the perimenopause by not getting treatment you run the risk of getting osteoporosis and heart conditions. If you they refuse after that make a formal complaint.
I am new to your channel but just want you to know that I am exactly the same . No energy, not wanting to dk anything and mood getting low. You are not alone. Hope you get the HRT as I am trying to get through naturally but it is so hard ❤
Bless you Ria I feel so bad for you 😢. I really hope they give you HRT, even if it doesn’t work at least you & the Dr have tried it. I had no idea it had been a 2 year fight!? I thought it was in recent months 😮. Omg I can’t believe that Dr recommend old fashioned remedies for sex???? What the actual eff!!!??? He should be sacked for given such stupid unsafe advice. Please keep us updated on it all. Sending love.
I know exactly how you feel. Its a nightmare. Im 51 and going through it too. My worst thing is the overwhelming tiredneas and the night sweats.. trying to go to wotk and be present is so tough Your not alone . I got the mini pill which has helped with the monthly dramas . Rant away my dear xxx
❤ria it's no joke the menopause..ive gone through mine now .been 10years..I was advised against HRT as breast cancer runs through my family....so basically took nothing but vitamins and self help measures..gave up alcohol completely ..I wasn't a big drinker by no means but even one drink made me feel unwell ...its been a battle the dreaded menopause I'm not going to lie..so you get help off your gp ASAP..dont suffer ..it can drag you down...look after you ria....dont be ignored...lots of love ❤❤❤ xxx

I feel your pain luv I'm going through the same thing but I'm not allowed to go on hrt because I have a aneurysm in my brain 😢 and I'm struggling so much but I'm here for u luv ❤ xx
The only way they will give you it is if they do the test, i tried it but it made my legs swell, im in worst part of menopause but im 54. Menopause is hell, im always sad, the anxiety kills me, bad joint pain, depression, hair loss, no energy, have lost the will to live, but funny enough i didnt take an awful lot of hot flushes. I have a few years of this to go yet i think 😢😢😢😢😢😢 i think you said u were 40, that does seem young but my friend took it at 45 xx
Bless you sweetheart women get it rough 😢 i hope thay give you it i was told i couldnt have it cus my grandad died of a blood clot and with takeing H.R.T. there is a risk of blood clots cus it was in the family thay wouldnt give me it 😢
Hi Rias, I hope you can get the HRT. Its a shame how women are not listened to. I personally won't take HRT but thats my personal choice of course. I have really bad down days, and all the peri meno symptoms going, but I want to just let my body naturally go through it. I wish you luck and hope you can see a sympathetic doctor
I’m so sorry Ria. Sadly I’ve heard so many women like you who are fobbed off about age or told to take supplements. I hear you and it’s so frustrating. I’m angry for you as it’s not right. Stand your ground is all I can say x
Hi Ria you can rant all you like to us we understand how you are feeling don't let the doctors fob you off, they are so good at doing that you know your own body and you wouldn't be asking for HRT if you didn't need it.iam not surprised that people have lost all faith in the doctors when they won't even help you it's disgusting.i hope you get sorted soon, take care.xx
Ahh i feel for you, im going through the same but just to say i was on hrt for 2 years and although it stopped my hot flushes it gave me several other symptons which has made me come off it, i worried too much about the risk of breast cancer but i am struggling with hot flushes, tiredness, depression and moods, its horid but i have to say other than stopping the hot flushes hrt cured nothing else for me, plus you bleed most of the time with hrt which is not nice it like having a permanent period. Really hope you get somewhere with it, and it helps you x
Oh. Ria feel so sorry for you I was on hrt for.10years.the release of all the horrible things just went try another doctor thinking about you ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊xxxxxx
Sending love not even going to go about about my symptoms I tell u full family history everytime u mention it but I'll send u a pic soon on Instagram of what I picked up yesterday and thought of u stright away as were same age same symptoms ❤
Tell me why they can't listen to their patients listen to their symptoms instead of I'll try this or let's try that they need to learn to listen more that's what we're paying them for
Menopause is kicking my ass. I started HRT after 1 year no period and it started them straight up after the second tablet… No thanks… I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and 6 herniated discs in my back..just pile it on. I live on pain killers. Drs do not dr in my opinion. Hope you can find some solution.❤
😂aah bless you yeah they dont like to give out stuff to ease our menopause do they i was takin herbal tabs but i just cant afford to pay out 40 pound everytime so i just not rakin anythin for it now so thenpoor people i come in contact with just have to put up with how i am lol
Worst thing is when you have sex and you split and bleed due to thinning of the skin down there ; and a UTI after every time after sex, started happening to me when I was 44 and I saw the nurse and the Dr and they had no clue about what it could be ................................
I'm so sorry yourefeeling so rubbish hun. Don't let the Dr's fob you off! Arm yourself with all the info you can from the Internet about hrt and perimenopause xx
Hope you get to the bottom of this. I'm 45 don't think my body ready yet. Think everyone different. Sorry had a chuckle about sex bit. Does the doctor think it's 1800s 😂😂😂 take care Hun 😘😘😘😘
The peri menopause can start in your 30s. For the most parts it starts around about the age of 40. So I don’t know why they are making it so difficult for you, shame you can’t see my doctor xxx
