My Dsis has been having awful menopause symptoms for a few years now - low energy , hot flushes , aching joints , brain fog ,disrupted sleep etc - we also have osteoporosis in the family.
She saw a GP and was advised it wasn't suitable as she smokes and was overweight.
She has lost some weight but still hasnt been back as she feels she will just be sent away again as she is still overweight and still smoking.
As she says though the symptoms themselves make exercise and other positive action harder as everything is a slog!
Where does she stand - can she insist on giving HRT a go if it's not specifically contraindicated ( and she is aware of the risks ) or is she right in thinking she will be sent away again ?
