- It affects at least 13 million women in the UK. Still, perimenopause continues to be one of the most misunderstood female health conditions - with a lack of support and understanding for those experiencing the often debilitating side effects. Tanya Bardsley was amongst those who were struggling with a range of confusing symptoms, and it was only when she watched a segment on This Morning that she was finally able to get the help she needed. She joins us to share her story, alongside Dr Louise Newson with the signs to look out for.

#ThisMorning
So basically you can only get help if you are prepared to pay privately for HRT. Everyone else gets stuck on anti depressants and told to go away!
I'm shocked. Not about the perimenopause but what Tanya has done to her face. She's completely unrecognisable!!!
I literally nodded my head to every single symptom and experience she had had as I've had the same here in Spain. They did a blood test, said everything was fine and sent me on my way. I'm going to go back and ask for HRT as I've been battling on my own like this for so long but can't do it anymore.Thanks so much for posting this. It's reaffirmed what I knew but hearing Tanya's story has given me the confidence and clarity to fight my corner.
The medical gaslighting of women is rife. Endometriosis is another condition that is completely overlooked until everything else is ruled out, considering it affects 10% of women, and adenomyosis affects almost 20% of women, it really makes you wonder why.
This was me too. GP said bloods were fine, watched thid programme and spoke to the Dr Louise clinic and got a peri diagnosis and I broke down in tears as they had finally confirmed it. But had my GP asked about my cycle and symptoms, they would have known. On the plus side, my GP took their diagnosis and took it upon themselves to learn more about it. ❤
I didn't even know about 'Perimenopause' and it's symptoms thank you for spreading awareness
In the UK, if you're under 40, getting a diagnosis without seeing a private menopause specialist or gynecologist is impossible! It's diabolical
I was watching this morning in Ireland in 2022, they were talking about perimenopause, never heard of it before.. I was flabbergasted I felt as if they were talking directly to me..
When my bloods finally changed to menopausal I got HRT, I thought I would have to stop working, and my life started again in a way. I realised I had been suffering for at least 5 years prior may be more and battling quietly especially the intense aching and brain fog. I was unable to articulate what I was going through and thought it was B12 deficiency. The best thing I did was speak with a private GP trained in menopause, worth every penny and felt validated and helped. Wish I would have done it a lot sooner, even just to check, so easy with telehealth these days.
I’ve been telling the gp for years I’m going through the menopause and been sent packing every time finally they took me seriously and done bloods to find out I’m now post menopause at 38
Look after Dr Newson she is our Angel 😇
This morning safe my life too, I was watching and was about skin cancer and I relieved I had on my leg, so I went to GP and had a Sergery after 4month
My mum was not listened to at all when she was going through perimenopause, a doctor told her to "deal with it herself". Six years later, someone finally listened to my mum, got her on HRT and now she's doing better. I think it's also important for the younger generation to be aware of this because at some point, we will go through it. It sounds so scary and GPs do not take this seriously enough.
This video has hugely helped me. Thank you 😊 I think I am definitely perimenopausal and I also have diagnosed ADHD. Watching this video has cleared the fog for me and I now know what I need to ask for, and what not to ask for.
No way is that her off housewives! Iv never seen anything like this in my life! Celebs are known to go overboard with surgery but this is NEXT LEVEL! She literally has a face transplant I’m flabbergasted!
I asked to speak to a doctor who specialises in menopause at my surgery and she took me seriously. I've had my bloods done and going back next week to get results and see about going on hrt. My advice would be to ask if there is a doctor in your local surgery who specialises in menopause also make sure you write down a list of all your symptoms so you don't forget to tell the doctor anything 🙂
Down with GP gaslighting! Better, modern training is required. We have a very outdated system. Functional medicine is incredible but be prepared to remortgage to get it 🤦🏻♀️
Dr Louise Newson has done so much good for getting the information out there. HRT saved my life too. I simply couldn't function without it. My NHS GP prescribed me HRT based on my symptoms - I've been lucky there. The PM symptoms I had I can only describe as hideous. I tried so many alternative natural methods for perimenopause support first but after a while, as my hormones dropped further, these weren't doing anything to help. HRT was the only option I had left and it turned out to be the best option.
Oh man brain fog.... I became to heavily reliant on post-it notes that even though I'm now back 'online' as it were I still have post-it notes - just in case..... Brain fog was frightening. I thought I was developing dementia...
I was relatively early on the change, I also had blood showed no symptoms.
