Hi, Bob. Isn't this place great? You learn so much from other people and if you want, you can just rant away to your heart's content! Seems I have been doing that quite a lot lately, mostly born out of frustration. I agree with you completely about the NHS. Maybe other parts of the country fare better than we do here in Cornwall, but it has been a long uphill struggle to achieve anything here.
I waited 7 1/2 months for my first gynae appointment, was told if only I lost some weight, I'd be fine. Being IR, that's a problem, was told that at my age (48) menopause can't be too far away and everything will sort itself out then anyway, so there's no point putting me on Met.
I've just had a letter from the hospital with a follow up appointment to check on my test results (bloods and endometrial samples). That's at the end of May! I told my G.p. I wasn't happy and would like to see an endo; she said there's no point, as they don't know anything about PCOS, they only deal with hormones! Such is the knowledge at G.P. level.
Anyway, as usual, I seem to have pottered on for an age, just wanted to say hello and hope things go well for you in 2005. |
