Saw my GP about the rejected Gyno referral which said my hormonal issues are likely perimenopause & recommended HRT so have a trial of that.

I also picked up my referral letter for rheumatology (as medical evidence for PIP & DSA) & it says #fibro. The GP has basically said "pretty sure it's fibro, please confirm."

I've been crying in a coffee shop with my beautiful girlfriend. It's a lot to process & I was kinda hanging onto it being #LongCovid as there is at least a chance that might improve.

I can't start the HRT patches yet, I have to wait for my next period to start, which is super frustrating because I've been having the hormonal symptoms for 10 years already and they've gradually got worse and now I have a treatment to try finally I can't just crack on and try it immediately.

@alexisbushnell Sorry. I must say that I find any interaction or treatment for these issues from NHS to be very difficult and pretty hard to understand. Not sure how much of that is due to being ND. 💜
