I am 59 yrs old and am nearly finished menopause. One of my problems is that my dr sees menopause as a pathology, a disease. Although I had always thought of menopause as just a "natural" phase of a female's life, this dr's attitude makes me feel that I am no longer a woman, just a walking pathology with nothing to look forward to but bodily and mental decay. She does not appear to listen when I tell her about any problems and tends to send me for intrusive tests. I want to take care of my health but this dr makes me so anxious, by her comments and her actions ever since I became menopausal, I feel like I have one foot in the grave. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your suggestion. I have been looking for a new dr. I don't know where you are but I'm in Toronto, Ontario Canada we have a real shortage of drs - they are all going down to the USA. It might take some time but I'll keep looking.
