Yes I thought the same, I initially didn’t recognise her but I recognised her voice!!! What has she done to her face??? Awful!!!

Who is she ? Tanya who ?

I thought I was on my own and going crazy, I’m sorry that you’re going through this but at least you know you aren’t alone and we will get better! It’s just about perseverance and sticking with it, they have a very important job and they should be doing it correctly.

So sorry to hear you’ve been suffering for so long. I’m in menopause with various symptoms including joint pain, memory. After following Dr Louise and Liz Earle who are amazing, I filled out a NICE guideline which I printed off and filled out. It provides GP’s with evidence based information which is used to diagnose menopause. I called my GP and read off the NICE guideline to them and pretty much demanded that I start HRT. They agreed and it is helping. I recently contacted Dr Louise Newson’s clinic and have started Testosterone which I paid for privately. Hopeful this will help greatly. Please don’t give up. Sadly doctors aren’t trained in the menopause. It’s getting slowly better. We have to do our homework and be firm when dealing with our health. Oestrogen affects everywhere in our body including our brains. We really go through it! Demand that you get put on HRT. We deserve the right to be able to replace the hormones lost through menopause🥰

What age are you if you don't mind me asking ? I'm wondering if it can start late 30s ?

@@Satsusss I turned 27 in March, it can happen in your 30’s yes but it’s better to not assume or panic until you get checked first - I haven’t been checked yet but I’m due to see a doctor really soon! life has been incredibly stressful for me the last while so it wouldn’t be surprising if It is this.. I’m hoping it’s not because when life is better and I’m sorted out with a place to live and I’m finished studying - having a wee family off my own finally would be a dream come true, I send love to anyone who can’t have kids btw but it’s great that we can adopt and foster☺️

So true!

I was diagnosed with endometriosis cancer back in October thank god I never took HRT because it would of spread like wild fire! And with a normal Pap test this doesn’t show up, if your doctor is going to put you on HRT make sure you do all the test before especially a vaginal scan.

What age are you, if you don't mind me asking?

It's no better in the US. I had to go to a functional medicine hormone specialist that does not accept insurance to get help.

Yep, pretty much, what is the point of this video, not everyone will be able to access this medication smdh

No I am in perimenopause and I was given hrt patches to try and gel together with progesterone. I gave my symptoms to my Dr and she was happy to give them to me. She's been my Dr for a few years. My friend also got hrt from her NHS Dr, in fact I know of other women as I'm in a group. I researched what type of hrt...I preferred bio identical. My Dr knew a lot about perimenopause...sadly many drs don't understand this issue enough and so fob you off I don't know what area you live in but you should definitely be able to get them on the NHS. I live in the North West and I have had issues with the mental health services due to lack of funding but my Dr is great. Sadly its swings and roundabouts x

No, you can get HRT from your GP.. I was put on it straight away about 4 years ago. Nothing to do with going private

I'm in perimenopause after lots of research. Writing all my symptoms down and knowing what I wanted I got help. I also spoke to a menopause specialist who confirms I was in perimenopause and sent a letter to my gp. I have the balance app by Dr Louise Newson and the ladies on there helped me get the medication I needed. All I need now is the testogel. All HRT has to be bio identical Dont give up!

But I think knowledge about what is going on goes a very long way. HRT is not a need. Women have been going through peri menopause and menopause for millennia. It is not a disorder, it is a natural phase in a woman’s life.

Good advice

Agree. We need to stop masking symptoms and actually treat them. This can be controlled through diet and mindfulness. Not one talks about it. They all reach for the HRT and go to a DP who sits there and Googles their symptoms. 🩷

@@lb1116 exactly 🤦‍♀️. Although I must disagree - hormone replacement can be needed if lifestyle changes aren't enough. Better to get a natural one privately but I know this is completely unaffordable. Bottom line is women's health is under-funded, under-researched and under-diagnosed and it's an utter disgrace. For anyone watching this thinking HRT is a miracle cure...umm awkward that it's linked to cancer. And yet we as women are out here kissing the ground GPs walk on whatever they do. Conventional birth control is also linked to cancer. Do your own research - many times over the patient will know FAR more than a GP (emphasis on the word GENERAL) as GP training is NOT up to date or exhaustive by any means.

@@lb1116 well isn't that interesting that my reply to you was deleted. I will repeat: synthetic HRT as well as many other common drugs GPs dole out are linked to cancer. Do your own research people. Best to go private if you want proper advice and natural options. Let's see how long this comment lasts 🙄

I have to write everything down & it has worried Me as My Nan bless Her Heart & Soul had Dementia! I was thinking that it could of possibly been passed down to my generation! It’s probably not that & is Brain Fog from being Peri menopausal! I have trouble sleeping as well! I have had Suicidal thoughts as well, not that I would go through with them! If I had the Bunce, I would pay for a Private GP to confirm it! Big Hugs to Anyone having to go through this!! 🫶🏻🙏🏻💫

Be insistent to get a referral or get a private appointment

You can get it on NHS. Pre-payment certificate £19 a yr. I've been on HRT for 3 yrs all through NHS ❤

Yes cancer is in the fam so I started it and stopped it immediately as there is ample research of the dangers but it generally stays out of the press. It makes money for Big Pharma.

That is an arguably outdated concept. It was based on a specific research paper but facts have now moved on. Worth watching some KZfaq videos on menopause that give much more rounded information and facts.

The new body identical HRT is much safer and carries very low risk. Dr Louise Newson talks about this on her KZfaq channel and website.

@@hea7055 Thank u for that 🩷

It can cause cancer or non cancerous lumps, however this is often because the dose is not correctly adjusted.

I also went the natural way literally changed my life herbals I take

Find a GP that will listen and who will change your dose.

Oh no! I'm terribly sorry to hear and hope even through any worries you continue to remain confident, the GPS can be so frustrating especially specific ones, but I'll pray and believe there'll be one out there who won't be sidestepping and will take into account all that you say~ you have the full right to tell your concerns and if you can tell you might possibly need a higher dosage or something tinkered, and to be checked with tests that's something they should most definitely serve- wishing you all the best in this and don't give up ❤ I know you can do it and I pray for your Healthcare to be full and exact suited to all you know it is needing. ❤🙏🏻

It's because they are telling post menopausal women to take progesterone all or most of the month. Should be 10-14 and vaginally the bioidentical form only. This mimics nature. They are saying all month to minimise risk of being sued for uterine cancer I think because it makes zero sense otherwise. Progesterone reduces serotonin and other brain chemicals, estrogens increases them. Net result is no improvement or worsening depending on dose of each and how you metabolise it. The progesterone converts into another hormone which is like benzodiazepine so nothing more than a sedative which women cling to at the price of growing depression in the years that follow on hrt. Women who had PMDD will struggle with cyclical progesterone so not suited for hrt. HRT was never meant to be longer than 1yr ish for those post menopause. Taking more estrogen to try overcome negative of progesterone doesn't work long term either. Progesterone comes along to buffer what estrogen was doing then goes away with period where estrogen also reduces. Static protocols are simply not good for brain function long term and more recent studies have proven it. My comments get deleted wherever I say them btw....so hope you get this!

I didn't have any weird symptoms when I went through puberty other than being cranky. Menopause has been SO different. I'm taking red clover daily to help with night sweats, body aches, and depression and black cohosh during my cycle to keep me from excessive bleeding.

@@tarynb.3691 I’m so sorry you’re going through all those symptoms…my sister is having similar problems…our bodies are still mysteries in some ways…at least people are starting to acknowledge it now instead of ignoring women.

Puberty doesn't last 10 to 15 years though. Additionally, an increase in hormones is a lot different to a decline at an age where our bodies aging. It's like saying a tree in autumn is the same as a tree in spring. Perimenopause is complex because it doesn't happen in the same way and at the same time for everyone. Bloods are not an indication of what symptoms a person may have. They are only confirmation that the hormones are in decline.

Doesn’t work for all women

Sadly, oestrogel given me allergic reaction straight way after putting one pump.

I wondered that is it a nerve issue

Bad lip filler

It’s called Bell’s palsy

Could be Bell’s palsy but it’s not important to the conversation.

I think she has locked jaw or possibly too much Botox so she can’t release her left side.

Botox to make it fuller?

Who friggin cares!!! Ffs 🤦‍♀️

I remember her saying on HWofC that she had Bells Palsy. She’s probably still recovering from it. Although, yes, you can see she’s had a lot of Botox and fillers. But that’s up to her if it makes her feel better. Who are we to make judgments on people’s faces. We are what we look like, whether natural or a helping hand. (The last part is a general opinion, not aimed at anyone.)

They are usually told not insert themselves in to someone’s story

Pardon?

@@Lisa-ht7jk what did you misunderstand? What do you need explaining? That Tanya has overfilled her jawline?
