So Kim must be hitting PeriMenopause as she has a new programme coming out, thing that bugs me is that on her podcast from 09/07/2020 she started off by saying she isnāt an expert on the Menopause - now she is!! Kim you made a mistake on your Instagram podcast menopause does not finish after PeriMenopause it can continue for up to 4/5 years if not longer. I had 5 years of PeriMenopause and Iām in the Menopause now believe me it doesnāt finish after no show of a period after a year! I look forward to hearing your pearls of wisdom on how to shift my belly, reduce symptoms (brain fog, aches, depression, bone thinning to name a few). Oh and I canāt take HRT (wish I could). I also want to say as a woman I accept this and have learned to live with my changing shape at the young age of 45.
Don't know if you know of Dr Louise Newson..she is on Instagram @menopause _doctor worth a follow she is a gp who specialises in menopause and is fighting the cause for women going though it..as there is a massive lack of education from UK GP's on menopause..majority of them know nothing about it.
I've had a total hysterectomy..still have ovaries..have been experiencing brain fog, weight gain, sweats etc.. on a call back from the doctor..she asked me when was the last time I had a
bleeping period!!
Anyway I'm 3 weeks in to the patches and I've gained 5lbs!
But..yeah..I'd rather be getting sound qualified advice rather than listen to Kim!
Me getting on patches was purely down to me asking the right questions to gp and informing them on what I knew(all down to Dr Louise Lawson)
GP's are reluctant to dish out hrt as they don't know enough about it.
Crazy
