What? No HRT because you are single?What madness is that?! Not surprised you were hopping mad!

Haha I know! It wasn't the only reason but it was top of his list.

Last week I was advised by a specialist to take a supplement that, when mixed with my current medication, could kill me. Another specialist, when I was nearly in tears because he refused to give me the meds that I needed, responded with, "Well I've seen worse". Yet another, when I told her I felt worse, said that I can't because the survey I filled in gave a different impression.

GPs often know very little about lots of things as they're generalists by design, but specialists are very often the worst personality types for healthcare ... or basic human decency.

Jesus mate that's awful! I'm so sorry you have been subjected to these stupid shitwitches and I hope you find some better healthcare. Good job you know what you're about.

It’s par for the course with a chronic condition, I think. You have to lie, manipulate and be selectively belligerent or you’ll get nothing.

Those "puppies" look LARGE. Boo to stoopid doctors who don't listen to their patients! YAY to your gorgeous drawings, Georgina!

Yep, they very nearly pulled me into a ditch this morning! The puppy is 9 months old and 40kg. Her older sister is usually better behaved but there was a cat involved. Thanks Sheila!

what the hell does HRT have to do with being married or not? does HRT check your papers before going to work? i swear every day i hear some new crap about menopause (or, more accurately, the stress of dealing with health services)
