How Do I Get the Right Help?

Been told it's "just menopause"?

I had a hysterectomy and my ovaries removed. Not one person spoke to me about menopause. They sent me home with HRT patches, and every time I went back, I was told the same thing: it's just menopause.

It took me three years to find out I wasn't absorbing the patches.

This is the kit I wish someone had handed me on day one. Whether you've had surgery or not, if you're struggling and being fobbed off, it's for you.

Inside, 30 pages:

• What "just menopause" should actually mean, and why over 45 you don't need a blood test to prove it
• What help actually exists, in plain English: HRT, vaginal oestrogen, testosterone and non-HRT options
• How to tell if your HRT is working, and how to ask whether you're absorbing it
• Word-for-word scripts for every appointment, including "please write in my notes that I asked"
• What to do, step by step, when you're being fobbed off
• A section for surgical and medical menopause
• Evidence pages: HRT diary, 2-week tracker, one-page GP summary and appointment notes

Instant download. Print it, or keep it on your phone for the appointment.
