Frustrated with doctors

This post is going to be about women’s health issues, so if this is something you don’t want to read about, you may want to skip over this post.

I’ve been experiencing symptoms of perimenopause. Quite a few symptoms, actually. Hot flashes, night sweats, my periods became heavier and more frequent, brain fog, sleep issues, mood swings, fatigue 😒. I did see a doctor about this, but she didn’t take me seriously at all 😠. She blamed the hot flashes and night sweats on vaping. It seems like most doctors want to blame things on that. I wish I could quit, but I did at least quit cigarettes. I am 43, so I think it is definitely possible I’m going through perimenopause. Other concerns were also dismissed. It seemed to me like she didn’t want to bother to look into anything and just found something else to blame it on 🙄.

I’ve done some research and found some other doctors, so I will be looking to see someone else. It really sucks that women aren’t taken seriously when it comes to health issues, it’s so frustrating 😠.

Sorry for the short post, I’ve been having trouble lately coming up with things to say, even on my social media. My brain is foggy and I’m tired a lot 😴.
