270 clinicians globally (including me) have signed this. “We will continue to prioritize patient empowerment, based on up-to-date science and further work to elevate standards of care for women entering the menopause. They deserve nothing less.” msmagazine.com/2024/04/15/men…
@drlouisenewson As if it wasn’t difficult enough advocating for yourself as a #pwME then there’s this on top. It’s a double whammy when you have a neuro-immune disease already #Myalgicencephalomyelitis #PeriMenopause I often have to quote Louise to get so called specialists to LISTEN! #Educate
@drlouisenewson Why is it that GPs focus on the risks associated with HRT when prescribing it and during periodic reviews yet never explain the risks associated with anti-depressants, beta blockers, statins and the other drugs they frequently prescribe? 🤔
@drlouisenewson Just listening to your podcasts on Testosterone, Louise. Wondered if you'd seen this? Apparently, NHS Scotland doesn't think single women should enjoy sex! ☹️ Who come up with this misogynistic claptrap? rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/tam-treatments…
@drlouisenewson As you've stated before, we've been over-medicalizing it for years--with the WRONG medication.
@drlouisenewson Are diabetics "over medicated" because there is a way to help deal with their symptoms? Are asthmatics "over medicated" because someone invented inhalers that save lives? Or is it just because it applies to women? Drives me nuts and I'm already hormonal challenged!
@drlouisenewson Wasn’t it the Lancet that referred to women as womb carriers or cervix havers or some such nonsense, but in the same issue referred to “men’s prostates”?! Misogyny runs deep in that publication. Thank you for taking it on. 👏🏻
