- A proposal for a “menopause policy” is to be implemented at City Hall to help support all colleagues going through menopause transition. Jane, Penny, Brenda and Charlene talk tiredness, mood swings and mind fog and ask is it time we took menopause symptoms more seriously? And should all companies offer employees menopause leave?

chronic insomnia, indescribable fatigue during the day, cognitive issues, memory loss, joint stiffness, body aches and pains, depression, anxiety attacks, emotions all over the place. I’ve worked in stressful management roles most of my career and can’t right now. I never ever knew it could be like this.
This is exactly how i am,.. sometimes you think theres something seriously wrong with you as surely menopause cant make you feel like this....but it does
I feel your pain 😔
Trudi you should take a look at the Channel 4 documentary on 12th May with Davina McCall and Dr. Louise Newson. Maybe find a specialist like Dr. Louise Newson and get sorted out on HRT so that you don't have to continue suffering these horrific symptoms. It is the exact same as treating any hormone deficiency like diabetes or thyroid issues.
I love Penny Lancaster, always a very understanding, empathic, and intelligent view on things. She just doesn't see things from her own perspective, she understands everybody's needs and situations. And she never gets heated, always very calm and professional but not afraid to show her real feelings either.x 😊
Hi Beverley
I had horrible menstrual cramps and extreme heavy bleeding when I went through puberty. It was awful. Pretty much thought I was going crazy. 40 years ago, no one talked about it. You suffered through it each month. Then....all these years later menopause hit and it was horrendous. I didn't even know that's what it was. Pretty much thought I had cancer and was bleeding to death. My mother and older sister went through menopause with zero symptoms, so I had no idea. The doctor did not even mention that it might be menopause. If I hadn't of been watching Loose Women on youtube, I would have never figured it out. Found a doctor and I feel like a new woman. Thank you Loose Women for talking so openly about the symptoms and what can be done. I'm now shouting it from the mountain tops. I tell all my friends and co workers what to do so they don't have to suffer.
So happy to see you left comments on.... 🧡
Yes! It seems they’ve turned them off again in their most recent videos, what a shame
Oh so nice to see the comments on! I think it would be an amazing idea to have comments on for all their videos, we can all have our own little debates too! As long as people are respectful it could be a good isea
Hi
I think we should aim to treat men and women equally but not necessarily identically.
Imagine if men got the menopause...what would the work place be like then? What if men got periods...how different the world would be. ♡
I have recently had to take a 2 week sick note, l am 50 and post menopause.
I wake up soaking wet, l shower then dry my hair. I start sweating again, my hair goes fizzy, l am dripping with sweat, trying to dress, l start to cry and start to panic. I get in my car and start to drive to work, panicking lm going to be late, l’m still sweating.
I make it just in time. I just want to cry because l hate feeling like this, somedays l forget what l am doing and l am alone in this nightmare.
I don’t know who l am anymore, l have no one around me who understands.
I have started on HRT patches and even they don’t stay on which do not help balancing my Estrogen levels, then there is the shortage.
Even booking an appointment with my GP is a task in itself. I just have appointments over the phone to avoid taking time off to see my doctor as l don’t want to draw attention to myself as a liability and an inconvenience to a business.
Because that’s what business think and that’s why women suffer in silence.
Low energy and moods, weight gain the list is long.
Women don’t want to be a burden to anyone but the reality is this is happening to women all over the world and we need to speak out and we should not be judged, instead we should be supported.
Every women going through the menopause has different experiences and symptoms and no one has the right to be ignorant towards each other. To listen and support can make a difference.
Bad experience of menopause is not natural it’s horrendous. Those who have none to medium symptoms are super lucky xx
Tanks for topics and menopause. It is fascinating and Exhausting 🤎🖤👍👍🧡
It’s horrendous, in my case it’s worse than depression, pmt or post natal depression, a daily struggle which has changed me & my life. I agree with Penny, women & men are different!
Claire please go to a specialist and ask them about HRT. Have a watch of the Channel 4 documentary on 12th May with Davina McCall and Dr. Louise Newson to understand that you do not have to suffer on with these horrific symptoms. it is the exact same as replacing a low hormone deficiency such as insulin for diabetes or thyroxine for low thyroid !
Hi Claire
Hi Claire, please get HRT, it's a game changer x
People also need to be aware that the menopause can happen at any age. I’m 26 and am going through early menopause. It does make work difficult. However I’m aware that it’s a natural thing, so I try not to make too much of a thing.
🥰
I had a premature menopause at 22 I’m now 39. It is difficult and honestly although it is natural it’s not ‘normal’ at such a young age. I understand not making it a thing but don’t be scared to talk to everyone you know about it so it doesn’t become a thing. I have always been honest about mine and it has helped me so much. Sending love. Ps Daisy Network are awesome
This was great thank you. Love this show 🥰
Hi Becky
THE COMMENTS R ON
And so many more... Loss of libido, muscle aches, tummy problems and everything associated with almost zero oestrogen, especially if you've had cancer and can't have oestrogen replacement
Agree with penny
I am going through this but can't say I'm not feeling very well in the work place to a boss who is a man, I find it uncomfortable talking to a man boss as I just don't feel they would understand....
Great show! Love the Loose women show!
Hi Linda
Always have my fan with me,apart from the hot flushes all good..love watching this show,can only get it on you tube,frm n.z
I live in England myself and I only watch on TH-cam because I don’t watch TV.
I started going through menopause at 37 im 49 now and it was horrendous 😫 at one stage when I had bleeding for 3 months constantly I had to have 2 blood transfusions, I also got lots of uti with protein in my urine my moods were awful and my energy, ive now not had period for 2yrs but still my energy is low and I ache constantly
Well said Penny
Hi Ann
Ladies, yalk to your boss, even if its a man....honestly, just do it and get HRT if you can get it. I started it last week and great benefits already x
Jane is such a know it all
Hardly heated. I think they were basically agreeing with each other
Comments on yay 🤩
Linda only if menopause is really bad😢
Men and women should be treated equally i sympathise with women greatly for this and my own girlfriend has it too on a daily basis but I think men are not talked enough on these sort of shows
it’s called loose women for a reason
Just go on HRT.
I m a woman but woman this days want a perfect world honestly i m sick of it
How can u ask for time off is a joke
Some people take any excuse to take time off
Because some people experience severe symptoms from menopause, it may not be something you experience but some people will need time off for it.
👏
