Dealing with Menopause, Hyper mobility syndrome, high BP & daughters PMDD while working full time.

Hot flushes were the least of my menopause problems! I was told by regular GP my symptoms would not be helped by HRT. My GP was wrong. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Unite For A Workers' Economy @UniteEconomy]

Matthew Wright is absolutely correct here.

The remuneration of CEO's in the UK vs the lowest paid workers is obscene.

What's even worse is the fact some of these workers are having wages topped up by Universal Credit, when in some cases, the companies they work for are doing deals with HMRC to lower their tax burden!

@UKLabour need to get a grip of this inequality and they need to do it fast.

90 minutes is an understatement. All routes gridlocked

[National Highways: South-East @HighwaysSEAST]

The #A282 at #DartfordCrossing remains closed southbound within J1B (Princes Road Interchange at #Dartford) following a serious collision.

Police investigation works will be ongoing into the evening.

There áre SEVERE delays in both directions on approach to the crossing.

@thespeakmans Trying your book to stop comfort eating. Stuck because I can’t think of a negative experience around food. Food is pleasurable entertainment for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ What is the negative in that?

@Healthandher_ Joint pain. Itchy skin. Palpitations. Think my GP’s were surprised as well as they never diagnosed me with menopause because of those symptoms 😣 Fortunately 5yrs on I am symptom free apart from itchy skin

Anyone getting Estradot with NHS prescription currently? @carolynharris24 @MenoScandal why is it available privately but I cannot get it with NHS pharmacy?

Can anyone confidently advise on how to use Oestrogen gel please? Getting conflicting advice. Rub in ? Or Allow to soak in? @drlouisenewson @DrNighatArif https://t.co/VAe6O3OhFW

[Rewriting midlife and menopause @MenoScandal]

Yes, you can get Utrogestan HRT in Spain over-the-counter for a fiver but we have shortages all across the UK. Why so ⁦@SteveBarclay⁩ ?

[Sam @MenoChronic]

@5_News @drlouisenewson @tessa5news Does that figure include women like me that already use the £10 per month pre payment? If so it’s wrong. I’m happy for women who only need HRT but for women like me on other medication it means nothing.

[Sam @MenoChronic]

@JaneMhdg @ThisisDavina Shortages must be a priority Especially as more women will be able to afford it 🤞🏼 Negative Nelly hear….😂 this new charge makes no difference to me & others who are already using the pre payment £10 per month or £30 per 3 month as we need other medication

[Sam @MenoChronic]

@JaneMhdg Testosterone did nothing for my joint pain. It is not the ‘wonder drug’ for everyone. Getting my oestrogen optimal was the answer for me. Not against testosterone and believe all women who want it should try it. Just saying it’s not for everyone.

[Dr Louise Newson @drlouisenewson]

Did you tune into @balanceMeno’s live Q&A on #HRT absorption and doses?​ There is a range of HRT preparations, so it’s really important you know about the available options. Catch-up on the live in the archives within balance+ on the balance app: https://t.co/SEsPQWSFQZ

Being easily triggered has always been my ‘unparty’ trick but strangely this goes when my hormones are at optimum level. It’s basically science when you think about it. Here’s my story, link in my bio, #PMDD #triggered #depression #trauma #CPTSD #Hormones

Poor reporting / awareness. You should be helping people by telling them about this ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️https://t.co/qHNHTrRIQ5

[ITV News @itvnews]

Credit squeeze is causing people to cut down on prescriptions, pharmacists say

https://t.co/JMODBi5ouD

[Sam @MenoChronic]

Poor reporting / awareness on prescription charges @itvnews £10 per month is cost of pre payment for as much medication you need over 12 months or £30 for 3 months. https://t.co/qHNHTrRIQ5
