[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ and medicine was much more misogynist than it is now!

If any woman suffered symptoms in her 40s and 50s, unless they were heavy bleeding that gave her anemia and were thus quantifiable... all the mental health issues, mood swings and such were just "women being hysterical".

Our mothers may have internalized all this suffering as normal and something to be borne in silence.

You're right, but I hate that we've swung so far the other way that anything you experience after 40 is perimenopause. I still have clockwork cycles but anything that I try to see a doctor for gets hand-waved as peri. [/quote]

I need your doctor. I tried to discuss my symptoms with my GYN and she put her hand up and said “we can’t talk about that at this appointment, you really need to talk to your primary care doctor about your symptoms.” This was after my PCP said that my symptoms were out of their wheelhouse and I needed to make an appointment with my GYN.

Now I have no doctors because I refuse to go back to either of them![/quote]

I’d use an online service like Alloy - you’ll get better service bc they specialize. [/quote]
