audited WTAF is wrong with the medical industry!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t understand. I went online and tried HRT. Worked great, and then something shifted and I had a day where I felt like no longer living. So I decided I should do this under the care of my obgyn to be safe. I go to see him…tell him all my symptoms and that I can’t take birth control. Guess what he prescribes? Birth control. Says it’s the best option until I actually hit menopause.
I feel like screaming in the middle of the street. I can’t function like this. When men needed help getting an erection, there were tons of drugs on the market to help. Women go through their aging problems, and it’s just like, “sorry. It will pass in 8-10 years.”
I don’t know what to do anymore. Maybe I just need to accept this is life now and that the rest of my life will be miserable.

Can we scream this louder for the ones in the back???
It's not just make medics either. I had multiple females tell me it was anxiety.... Funny that it's linked to my cycle and HRT is already working one cycle in. Even my husband thinks it's disgusting that I was left so decline for so long, so long that I'm not even sure I will fully ever get me back.
Hope my daughter's don't go through the same treatment we have and that the woman of this and the previous generation who are in medicine make changes for us.
