As you may know, I had to go private to get my perimenopause diagnosis and access HRT. Trying to get my GP to listen was impossible. I was told I was too young but if I was 45 I would be given HRT without question (how does that make sense) Then I was told I would need a blood test to check hormone levels. This is when things got really ridiculous.
I always felt like I had been missing out on something. I had been to college and studied Travel and Tourism for 3 years, graduating with a HND in 2001. Returned to college in 2008 to study Access to Social Sciences but something still didn't sit right with me. Fast forward to 2015, I signed up to The Open University.
One day you are happily going about your business as normal and then all of a sudden you feel this rush of heat radiate throughout your body. You wonder if you are coming down with something but as quick as it came, the strange warmth has calmed down and everything is ok again. Have you considered it could be the start of perimenopause?
