[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not any one doctor but the general experience of being passed around from specialist to specialist- with pricey co pays and tests and too much time spent- none of whom seem to think outside the box of their specialty. I had a gyn tell me yesterday that she could prescribe topical HRT (lotion), but not systemic HRT (patch and pills) because her practice doesn’t ’do that’ - not for any particular reason she could explain and she said she’s a proponent of HRT.

I’m not dying but I’ve had ongoing fatigue and headaches and some related issues- probably mostly hormone related and I’m on HRT and thyroid meds- and no one seems interested or able to address it well, other than being happy to shuttle me off to another doctor under their umbrella center for tests and more tests that typically come back ‘green’ eg, fine (although I’ve noticed no one bothers to note if my test results are borderline low normal or high normal as example)

I know I’m lucky to have good health insurance, and if I had cancer or another serious illness, I’d probably be happy to have doctors treat me, but everything else? Eh. So uninspiring and so expensive too. [/quote]

Op. Just checked my chart. They had that my last period was 2019. Huh? [/quote]
