I've been offered the zolidex injections by the gynecologist, for my severe peri-symptoms.
I left feeling more confused than before I went in. She said my FSH levels were not menopausal, just high normal even though my GP had confirmed they were menopausal (26) She made me feel ,ike my symptoms were not connected to hormones, kept asking if I had problems at work/home. Made me as I've already been through all this with loads of GPs. All my symptoms started when my periods went closer together after being regular as clockwork so must be connected.
I'm quite shocked that this is the course of action they think is best, it's basically cold turkey menopause via injection. I'm at a loss as to how this is going to make me feel better, but she said it irons out all the ups and downs and then if needed they add back hormones... Sounds pretty horendous.
I get to see the consultant gyne on Monday, so can decide then.
