Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods Menopause couldn't arrive at a worse time in a woman's life as you mention with so much happening. Especially at the present time. Important to eat well, exercise and breathe #PMPHour

PeriMenoPost Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods True and women usually at the peak of their career having taken a long time to get there due to life

Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist PeriMenoPost Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods I had bad anxiety. Before I knew was due to menopause I was back and forward to GP cardiac investigation/thought I had thyroid cancer/101 other things. I’m a nurse I’m angry I didn’t recognise it was anxiety 🤷‍♀️I left a well paid job. Just walked out. Took 4 years to get sorted

KPicks PeriMenoPost Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods Oh my goodness you poor thing - I worked with a colleague who said she thought my anxiety was due to Perimenopause

Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist PeriMenoPost Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods I just wished my gp had recognised it. Would have saved a lot of NHS expense and me a lot of trauma. 2 episodes of suicidal ideation and a lot of heartache and money for specialists later and I’m sort of sorted 😅

KPicks Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist PeriMenoPost Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods Precisely!
I saw several NHS specialists, spent loads on inappropriate prescriptions, wasted GP appointment time & cost my employer a small fortune too!
When introducing HRT properly & earlier would have prevented this
And would have started protecting me longterm faster #pmphour

🦋Aline Boblin🦋 KPicks Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer @BRaiseyourvoice Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods Do you know what my GP said to me a few weeks ago? I was told I could not be referred any more I'd seen too many doctors! I was told to put up with it or have a hysterectomy. No faith in my area for GP's Shocking! #PMPHour

@BRaiseyourvoice 🦋Aline Boblin🦋 KPicks Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods Thank you, I will change. I broke down in tears, during lockdown it was horrendous. GP told me no scans were open having being told by the A&E dept I needed a scan that my Gp could organise, took 4 weeks. Def changing doctors, thank you #PMPHour

PeriMenoPost @BRaiseyourvoice KPicks Hazel Hayden RGN, BMS Menopause Specialist Elizabeth Ward Sharon Boxer Tabby Cat Carrie Eddins @fitnchips @MenoDirectory Alison Critchley-Heights Farm Pet Foods I'm so sorry to read that! This is shocking! So much needs to change where women's health is concerned. I do hope you find a better way forward soon.❤️❤️❤️
