I'll try to keep this short-
I'm 46, pretty sure I'm in the throes of peri menopause (dryness everywhere, slightly shorter cycles, really bad anxiety, sore breasts, vile metallic taste/burning mouth/ random fits of crying/rage).
I waited ages for a GP appointment with the "women's health" GP and she didn't seem to know anything.
She ordered a hormone test (which I'm pretty sure is pointless given my age and symptoms) and nobody has even bothered explaining the results (I checked online it says I have a FSH level of 14.5. I have no idea what this means. I was on my period at the time. I don't like to google because I have severe health anxiety.
It was a phone appointment and she really gave me the impression I was wasting her time.
I just want to feel better :(
