Review of The Harper Clinic : The Harper Clinic

 Overall Opinion

Forgot how it felt to feel 'normal'

I seriously was a denier that I could be perimenopausal until I popped into Boots and broke down in tears at being asked for my Advantage card.
I knew there was something wrong with me, the brain fog was awful, I couldn't concentrate or even sometimes remember where I was or what I was doing there. At times I would be midway through a sentence and forget what I was talking about. I has pains in my hips, knee and elbow joints, but due to a friend being diagnosed with bone cancer I was too scared to go and see my GP. My hair was thinning, my skin was itchy but I was (still am) having regulars periods so I couldn't be perimenopausal.
After the Boots incident and a row with my other half over a cup of tea, I knew I might need to see if I was ill, going totally mad, or just stressed. My GP wasn't really interested as I am on the pill and having periods so I was cast to one side but thankfully a good friend of mine recommended Dr Harper. What a difference a couple of months can make, my party piece is that I have gone from struggling to get off the sofa to being able to touch my toes. I can remember phone numbers and email addresses. My memory of spelling has improved and I am far happier in myself. I now know I didn't need to be scared I just needed to speak to the right person. During our first meeting I felt so comfortable straight away and realised it was ok that I had felt scared and even had a little cry but Dr Harper just made me feel so relaxed, I felt like I was talking to my best friend even though we had just met.

I had my second appt with Dr Harper yesterday and I needed to say a huge thank you.to her. I have changed so much in a couple of months. Granted my symptoms haven't all disappeared but it's only been 2 months but I am more alert, my vision is so much more focused, my memory has improved. My confidence is rising.

I can not recommend Dr Harper highly enough, she has saved me from myself,. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
