You sound like you've been and still going through the mill, Lisa.
Medical misogyny is so real.
My biggest surprise was to be diagnosed as ADHD. My biggest surprise POST menopause is that although we do get left with some fleeting symptoms - no one told us that either - is that we or at least I have developed some sort of power to forget how challenging it all was. A bit like forgetting how bad childbirth was! 😆
Thanks so much for your wise comment Sharon! It has been SO challenging lately - and yeah to the medical misogyny - that's such a thing! Thank you for letting me know that I might just forget about menopause one day - looking forward to that! 😅
Oh Lisa, this is so beautifully written. I’m just so sorry that you’ve been through this. So so important to share our stories and, as you know, so much of yours I can resonate with as so many well reading this. Very much with you on the stop/start rollercoaster of HRT tweaking, stopping, starting – and also the return of symptoms and those morning anxiety/adrenaline rushes. I’m so glad to hear your GP has been so brilliant, and you’ve received all the appropriate investigations in good time and the bleeding has stopped and you have a plan going forward this New Year. I’m sending you the biggest hug and thank you, again, for writing so honestly and brilliantly about it all. Sharing! 💖🤗

Oh my gosh Lisa. All of that on top of your building work and other, more personal, sadnesses. The whole menopause thing is O scary. My best friend had stage 3
Ovarian cancer and was convinced it was related to HRT(after previously begging us all to go on it so we could feel as good as her…).
I carried in. Then stopped but have just agreed to start again as I feel exhausted from the Adrenalin rushes and
