MeandO's money-shuffling

Oh gosh @MeandO we do have a lot of similarities 🫣 my aunty and my cousin both had strokes and I've been advised not to have the pill or HRT. However after ten years struggling with symptoms I was at the end of my rope and so the Dr and I came to an agreement I would take the risk, I started getting migraines almost instantly, so I cut down the HRT to taking it every two days, still had headaches so took it every three days and it cleared the hot flushes. My body seems to have acclimatised to it now and the hot flushes have returned 😩 so I've started taking it every two days again. I keep note of any symptoms (she gave me a big list of what to look for ) and I will stop taking it if this happens again (headaches were on there). She's also suggested a menopause clinic which I think I'm going to ask to be referred to as she admitted they will know more than her. She was ever so helpful though and kind so I'm glad I asked to speak to a woman Dr as she was going through it herself and had lots of empathy. Can you ask to be referred to a clinic if you have one locally? Lots of alternatives as sashybo says (I don't know what they all are though).
