I love menopause!! I suffered every month with super painful period cramps and heavy bleeding. And terrible mental health the week before. Plus from childhood onwards I was already sweaty and overheated easily. I suffered loads of symptoms during menopause, but they all went away when I radically changed my diet and lifestyle trying to improve other chronic health issues (it worked and I'm far far into health recovery). I gave up processed food, sugar, fruit, and starchy carbs; improved my sleep, stress processing, breathing and airways, movement and sunlight exposure. So grateful for new health and vitality at 59 💥
This is a bit sugar coated. Hot flashes and not being able to sleep is horrid, especially when I had to still go to work in the morning. It included a mental decline. Weight issues started. It charges your physical appearance with graying hair (which I don’t mind)..Changes relationships at work & home. Changes sleep patterns. Chocolate, wine & coffee made symptoms FAR worse. Had to research to find that info. The process Lasted 10 years which isn’t talked about.. And after this is when breast cancer occurred, for me which I’m pretty sure was hormone related. So personally I’d rather have kept having periods. Menopause is NOT a piece of cake.
Every person has a unique experience during this process. I wish there was more information available, these are things we should be taught early in life to prepare for it, at least mentally, and understand what our bodies are going through 🙏🏾
Amen sister! This is way sugar coated. Like many doctors, Yes, even women doctors, we are told "there, there, don't worry your pretty little head." Her "so called" compounded hormones saved me. Her cavalier dismissal is horrifying and truly unjust to so many women that deserve to know the truth. I call bullshit on her talk.
It is not a piece of cake!,I agree that going through puberty was so much easier. I went through menopause for 8 years and then like you, got breast cancer. I’m a 13 year survivor but I certainly wouldn’t want to deal with the monthly periods ever again.
@@bonniebojorquez6723 I agree re compounded hormones…her easy dismissal may be big pharma motivated.
@@babyruthless9670 Yeah WINNIPEG Doctor is making a difference and things are slowly changing
Since I was a student in university I dreamed of having a clinic focused exclusively on menopause and educating people about it. It's such a taboo in many countries and societies. Like this woman says, life doesn't end when we get into menopause, it's another stage of life. I'm 35 now, and I promise one day I'll have my clinic with specialist to educate and give the right therapy and help to actually learn to accept and make the best of this part of our lives as women when we get to it.
i hope you will accomplish your goal... it is needed... thank you.
Bless you!
Yes please
That's great!
If you need a Respiratory therapist, I am up for the challenge. On my 40’s and occasionally having some stressful period moments, single mothers might get affected more often with symptoms because of the extra stress add on, so this kind of spaces should very well receive by single woman who is aging. Just a thought.
I'm 51 and I'm on five years without a period. Never married, no kids. As teen and my adulhoode struggled with my weight. Since perimenopause my metabolism increased, weight dropped off, energy level increase,. Thankfully I love to work out and eat healthy. No drugs all natural. No complaints about menopause. Love it!
I had a hysterectomy at 46. No more periods. Feels great!
Nothing to fear? I have been experiencing every almost every single symptom for nearly 7 years!
While many symptoms of menopause go away after the transition it is important to know, that with increased age and ongoing estrogen loss 70 % of women will develope vaginal atrophy, the thinning and basically falling apart of the skin in the vagina and vulva. Local estrogens are harmless for most of the female population. When you go through menopause and develope reacuring utis, pain with urination, burning and itching of vulva and vagina and painfull intercourse, dont hesitate and get the treatment you deserve. Speak with your gynocologist about vaginal atrophy.
My menstrual cycle was easy ( 3-4days, easy flow, no cramps) coming on the dot. Now I’m 50 and in menopause for almost 3 years, however peri menopause started five years prior. Hot flashes, night sweats where I change my pajamas 2-3 times per night, leg cramps, mood swings, depression.
It’s an awful experience and still going. My mom is 70 and still doesn’t leave the house without a change of clothes in her handbag.
I bought in Romania some natural pills called Climenum and drinking sage tea and I’m improving.
Also I quit smoking few years back.
God bless everyone 🤗
As a man, thank you!
Usually women don't like to share these details with men... hence we get accused of not understanding them.
Like you are doing now, it's always possible to research what you don't know...
@@kionnakelly2918 you would end up all your life researching.
It sounds like you’re blaming women around you. We’re being shamed for sharing that, you know. And maybe even taught that telling about it is not appropriate. Or even yelled at for that.
Thank you for taking the initiative and learning at least some basics about our bodys cylces. Most of us know our guys do not listen when we talk about womenly issues it can make them uncomfortable and based on our past experiences in the relationship we know not to speak about it. Half of the men in my life would not go buy pads or tampons for the femals in their lives. It sad.
@@laurieherman1215 half of the women in my life wouldn't even try to discuss this stuff
Me: 3am, need to sleep, need to get up in 3 hours
TH-cam: Want to learn about menopause?
Me: Sure why not
Not friggin sleeping, anyways. Put WAY too much time in here yesterday.
Not enough brain cells to read a cereal box.
I appreciate what is being said. However, if you suffer with hormonal related sleep disturbances it's not possible to get good sleep 😕
Like many doctors, this lady looks on the bright side. I have been going through the menopause for years and I still have issues to deal with. Everyone talks about hot flushes and night sweats which are bad enough but there are plenty of other symptoms to contend with. If you are suffering ask to try HRT.
I take hormones since 10 years and doing ok!!!!!
I agree!!!!
What are the other symptoms and what is HRT please?
@@thycauldron HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy
I knew that Doctor was a dipspit! He kept saying I was post menopause... I argued a bit, but he barked at me.... I know hot flashes n sweaty wet sleeping haven't stopped... I'm so tired of the medical community not knowing their asp from a hole in the ground.... Just because I didn't go to school as long as someone, doesn't mean I'm dumb or that I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks Dr. LadyDoctor. ✌🏻
I'm 64 still get hot flushes, night sweats, moods etc. I started menopause about 48 and still going 😎🤭
This is actually very common throughout the medical community.
Its like how most doctors never get chemo and always recommend it.
Overweight/obese people's problems are always blamed on their weight. (Same with smokers)
Doctors are the most suicidal professional group in the world, and they are afraid to tell anyone because they will lose their license.
Education does not equal intelligence. In fact, 90% of a doctors education is which med to prescribe.
@@mellie9633 thank you for sharing.😁💜✌🏻
@@persephone3892 yep. I haven't been to any doctor in over a year. I'm off my BP and Antidepressant... I've tried so many clinics n hospital systems around here... I truly think that the world sends it's dumbest worst docs here, to Arkansas. What a bunch of incompetent snobs... Thanks Lady😉😎🐣
@@mellie9633 I'm sorry you still get periods from time to time?
Had to share this: For hot flashes I use to put my head in the freezer. That was a few years ago & to my surprise I survived. All is well now. Got over the flashes, weight gain, brain fog, thinning hair, irritabilty, sadnesd, moodiness & insomnia. Hang in there as it does get better.
How long did it last in total?
Me living on 4 hours of sleep from 45-57:
I'm going through this because I'm stunning and brave and strong! Thank goodness for the evolution of all women everywhere!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
😂
God help anyone who wakes you.
Satan voice: "*Who dareth disturb the queen??"*
This lady is awesome.
It looks like she’s well versed in many different topics of life
Yes.
I found that processed sugar triggered my hot flashes. Intentional breath work and telling my brain that I was not hot and did not need cooling off, stopped them dead in their tracks.
I feel like crap. This is sugar coated. I will sweat and change my clothes 3 times in a night. Im miserable
Currently in surgical menopause. 2 weeks in today. Wasn't gradual for me lol. I woke up from surgery to find out my ovaries were gone. It's been an adjustment.
Gradual, my a**. Lol. It wasn't for me, either.
As someone who is 39 with two small kids and going through perimenopause, I can tell you that I am miserable. And doctors have just blankly stared at me and said nope, nothing we can do for you. Meanwhile, I suffer and so does my family. So yeah, this should be a fun next few years...
well I understand completely stay strong
Look for a doctor specialized in menopause. They will understand and help you.. I recommend you watch the series of Menopause Taylor. She is great and goes into detail about all these changes.
I feel badly for you. I’m 53 and coming out on the other side of this sh!tshow. It’s a genuinely horrible phase of life. Stay strong and hope you find a doctor who understands and will help you with HRT. Good luck.
They should offer you some antidepressants or therapy if you're miserable. Just fobbing you off is pretty negligent.
My doctor, a male GP, did not think HRT was important. He talked me out of it. I suffered needlessly for years. If I could go back and do it over again, I would have gotten on HRT the minute my symptoms occurred. it bothers me that women aren’t being taught what symptoms of menopause are. I was having symptoms that I didn’t even know or due to menopause. it also irks me that Medicare will not cover estradiol gel which is the safest form of HRT. anyhow, my advice to anyone is get on it right away. Don’t hesitate. Don’t be miserable needlessly.
I’m 45 have so much weight gain around my midsection it’s draining,,
Gan you need your own channel. And you need it right now. 🙌🏽❤️
EXACTLY!! she's a friggin Rockstar!
“This is a sign of my strength” thank you, God!
Going thru menopause is not easy for me especially when I am 43 with no kids and always wanted kids. I never had symptoms warning me that I was going thru it because I got my minthly bleeding on time ALWAYSS . I always had PMS so you can imagine my surprise when my bleeding just stoped and me thinkin I was pregnant when it was really my perimenopause.
This doctor talks about getting enough sleep when insomnia is part of the symptoms of menopause and I fear menopause because HRT was demonized after the WHI study of 2002 and menopause brings the risk of osteoporosis, alzheimer and heart attack.
I'll risk it. F it. I don't want to be 60 pounds too fat, not sleeping, saggy and old. F that.
Homeopathy is brilliant for menopause.-try it 👍
I've been going through menopause for over a year. I may only be 39 years old but I had a complete full hysterectomy 17 years ago. I have so many things of menopause.
If you had a full hysterectomy (including ovaries) at the age of 22, you would have been in menopause at 22. I don't understand how you are going through it now? Unless they left the ovaries in which case it wasn't a full hysterectomy
Menopause is he!! Which no one talks about. Not for the faint of heart.
As someone who has gone through prematurely menopause at age 20 I would be interested in learning more the implications long term
My mom went Through early menopause at the age of like 34/35 due to medical conditions unrelated to reproduction. It would be really cool to see what affects it and why some people go through early menopause in general.
Agreed. I was diagnosed with “Primary Ovarian Insufficiency” at 27. Regardless of the terminology used I experienced a nightmarish speed run through menopause. It was devastating both mentally and physically. Apparently Osteoporosis was hard at work behind the scenes, chipping away at my lumbar spine and hip. I had to start on medication to prevent more damage. The cognitive decline was also traumatic. Before my OBGYN tested and diagnosed me I went for a neuro eval because I thought I had premature dementia. I had no idea estrogen played such a vital role outside reproduction. My ovaries have become very small and there is concern about leaving them where they are as they could possibly cause trouble. I know I’ll be on carefully regulated HRT for the next 20 years, but the future is a little scary because there isn’t a lot of research on this condition (yet). Sorry you are also part of this group. I hope you have a good support network. I have come to terms better with it now, but one of the worst parts was having nobody my age to talk to about what was happening and how I was feeling. Take care ❤️
I’m 42 and have had these side effects that I’m sure are perimenopause. My doctor refused to listen and says I’m too young. I don’t go to her anymore, but unfortunately I can’t find a doctor or good information.
@@leannemarie8956 same exact experience with my female primary care provider! I couldn't understand how she nonchalantly told me that I'm way too young for that and dismissed my symptoms, even though she's around my age. I'd hoped she kept a more open mind. Giving her one more chance then might have to find another provider as well.
I thought it creates like 35% more Alzheimers...?
I wonder if your experiences going thru puberty can indicate how hard menopause will hit…
Omg... I hope the experiences from my disastrous puberty mean I've paid all my sins and get a super smooth menopause like my mom had 😭
My OBGYN told me that it's more like post partum when your period stops...I was a total mess after my first born
@@p.l.1472 hi, how did you deal w it?
@@xcc6014 the first 6 months were awful but I live abroad with no family at all....I should have gone to my obgyn. When i went back to work felt better again. Becoming a parent can b a shock to the system to be after to ask for help. It's for your healthy and for your family’s health
@@p.l.1472 i hope you’re doing much better now. I never had postpartum depression after my kids were born. I’m just curious how you recover fr that.
I’ve been doing a lot of research on perimenopause journey. There’s an app called Perry that I just joined.
me who isn't even a girl and has a homework deadline due next next day: wow cool vid
Thanks for such a great explainer! I feel like it's really hard to get clear info on menopause, so many sources are vague on detail. Dr Gunter is a brilliant speaker & so easy to follow 😁
Never heard someone talk about menopause that way.
I know I became pre menopausal shortly after my daughters 1st Birthday. Hot flashes so bad I have to take cold bathes with ice. I do not sleep well at all. My menstrual cycle is so screwed up it will be so heavy I cannot leave my home to virtually non-existent. I am cramping for.the first time in my life but only during ovulation cycles. My hair is thin AF and wont grow ontop of overly sensitive skin now with acne. Yeah its a breeze NOOOOT.
You know what helped me? B vitamins in Trader Joe's Nutritional Yeast. A bag is like 3-4 bucks. Put it on your salad. It's umami flavor. Stopped much of the hairfall.
I was surprised there was no mention of leg cramps. There is no pain like being awoken from a sound sleep in the wee hours by both calves severely spasming at the same time. Fortunately, this was eliminated by taking a good multivitamin daily.
Dear Ma'am, did you consult a doc before taking the multi vitamins.?
I have terrible leg cramps, at odd hours...
@@sharmisthabhattacharya1242 I did not. Stopping the cramps was an unintended positive consequence of starting the vitamins. If I miss two days, the cramps return. It may be specifically the magnesium in the vitamin that is helping with the cramps.
@@sarajanehaven Thank you...
@@sarajanehaven Magnesium is often recommended for muscle cramps. Multivitamins are often enriched with micronutrients such as magnesium and potassium that are a great help.
Lotus seeds are best. Just try. It can b used throughout but the vitamins are used for a shortperiod
thank you
I'm trying to stay positive about the thought of going through menopause. I'm in my late 30s and have always handled periods and pregnancies well. I want to prepare myself for what's to come in a few years time but I feel that I need to see videos of people in the raw state of it, how hot are the flushes?
Dr Jen I bought your book as well
I'm really liking these videos from Dr. Jen Gunter. Keep 'em coming!
"Talk to your doctor" is painfully unhelpful advice for those of us with barriers to care.
I just found out I was in menopause my Dr emailed me said your menopause. And sent me a video 🤦🏽♀️ that’s it I Have so many ? He sends me more videos lol 😂
How crucial is heavy exercise to menopausal symptoms?
Interesting video. I might as well learn about it from this lady online since this topic will probably not come up naturally in life.
Get some old women friends who are like 75 like I have lol
I like my hot flashes during the winter. I was talking about this whole thing with my MIL’s home health care person. She said she regulated it by never eating sugar. I asked her if she flew to other countries to eat.
I’ve started to believe that we are one big science experiment done by a very lazy middle school kid who did the work ten minutes before it was due.
I'm so looking forward to menopause. I cannot wait for my periods to completely stop
Dosen't that dry up your va. gina?
@@frackjohn So, men are dry?
@@speicaldark they get sweat but that is not the point
I am scared of not having my periods 😭
@@clept8847 What do you find scary?
A. You don’t FEEL sweaty. You ARE sweaty
B The only good thing about hot flashes is that it saves on the utility bill in winter.
As recent as 33 I experienced hot flashes. sweating profusly lacking fever.noticable temperature spike by those around me and they're efforts suggesting I was much too young to experience hot flashes at 30's when menopause doesn't start til much later in life. My only explanation being something's very wrong. Hot flashes aren't normal unless menopause is occuring.
There are other conditions that can make you feel hot and sweaty. For me, it's a thyroid disease. Ask your doctor.
Hi Dr Gunter
I have an 8 year old daughter. She just started growing underarm hair. One of her 8 year old female friends on the other hand hasn't started growing armpit hair, however has grown pubic hair and has had a period. So now I'm kinda freaking out in my mind thinking is my daughter going to start her period soon. I don't recall when I started my period however I'm pretty sure it was no where near 8 year old. I think years later.
Are there things causing earlier periods that we can try to avoid? I sure hope so.
Hello. I know I am late but avoid foods with androgens in it. Food these days have hormones which trigger changes in our body and can trigger puberty.
Foods with phytoestrogens, like soy, may be problematic.
hello, honestly, everyone is built different so you can't exactly predict when she'll get it. just make sure she knows what it is (do not sugar coat it be direct with her, use medical terms) so she doesn't panic once it starts for her.
It's from fat. Please see The Secret Life of Fat. Library has it. You get x% fat, and that's how it starts.
Sometimes, it just is, but fat is everything. There's a girl who started like at age 1 (yes) and gave birth by age 5. That was the youngest anywhere
Never figured out who did it.
I don't get menstrual cramps, at least i didn't at all for the first 1-3 years, even now the pain is on about a 1-3 range. so I hardly get cramps, why's that? I won't take it back if I could lol...but I'm just curious.
It’s not luck…it depends on how healthy adrenal glands are. I’m 48 and tending to my adrenals which is healing my entire system.
I had a hysterectomy in 2019. I've had my HRT meds adjusted several times, since I've moved waiting to see new doctor again. It's getting worse again. Something new is constant sweating from palms and feet, could that be a menopausal symptom??
Low estrogen.
@@Iceis_Phoenix Yep, got referral to new see OB doc. Ty
Dealing with body pain after menopause
Any advise? Just start taking omegas 3s hope this helps.
Oh the pain is awful and still going to work.
@@hani786ish yes I started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid..and Vitmin Kand D my pain has diminished alot!!!!
I need help. What do you do if you’re girlfriend/wife has gone through menopause and she’s not emitting those pheromones?
In retrospect, it was very apparent that I was, previously, reacting to her pheromone cycle.
Ever since it stopped … she’s noticed I haven’t been sexually interested in her anymore.
But I still love her.
please add indonesian subtitle, thank you❤️👍
Hi -- I just watched this video and read the comments, and wanted to let you know that they have Indonesian subtitles now.
I would counter that there is a lot to fear about " reverse puberty ," one symptom being Menopause in woman . Its just that some people prefer there aging process to be sugar coated and who can blame them ..
Time to be adult.
Ahhhhhh!!!!! This was awesome BUT I need more and consistent please. We transition folks don’t have a good guide to help us through all this. Any ideas of resources that can help like a conversation. Read the books but it was sooooo much more helpful to hear it and see a woman explain!!
Check out: Maryon Stewart: Midlife Refuel Club, Maise Hill podcast: Period Power, Perry (app), Tanya Elfersy: The Wiser Woman, Gennev (women’s telehealth)
I call it second puberty & it’s worse than pregnancy
I've read her book, the Menopause Manifesto, she's not keen on natural remedies. As a medical doctor, I'm not surprised. However, I found that tinctures and herbs remedied the symptoms without giving me a period.
That's psychosomatic. There's no evidence and it can kill you, too.
See How Not to die by Dr. G.
I'm experiencing mild nausea constantly, as if I'm pregnant. I made a pregnancy test, I'm not pregnant, and still I feel like I am. I'm worried too. I feel weird 😢 so confusing
Yes, also anxiety makes it worst
Thank you.
Every episode is, "talk to your doctor", this is America, not all of us have a doctor because we can't afford one/ healthcare. lol
I'm peri-menopause and ovaries have started hurting. Shall I get to see a doctor or is this normal.
I had the worst periods of my life then.
Couple of questions... if you have millions of eggs at birth and ovulate and menstruate 400 times in your life (presuming no hormonal birth control of pregnancies) how can you run out by 45? 1,000,000 minus 400 eggs equals more or less one million.
Second question: if you are on the hormonal birth control, you never ovulate and also never technically menstruate (although you might have breakthrough bleeding if you take a week off or even if you don't). So how do you know when it's been a year since you last menstruated when you never menstruated if you took the pill for decades without ever taking a week off? And theoretically, your 400 fresh eggs wouldn't have fallen over your lifetime had you ovulated or menstruated.
I'm dreading the moment my period will stop. My period is a kind of cleanser for me. Whatever infection or issue i might have, it always goes away when my period comes.
Infections don't just go away when your period comes that doesn't make sense 😒
THERE'S NO FUCKING SUBTITLES.
0:01 There's a lot of mystery and confusion surrounding Metapods
i’m 40 years old i have symptoms of menopause
Ahhh, medical advice from an upper middle class white person, what could go wrong here? So many damn things, the assumption that family will support you, the assumption you have access to physicians and treatments, the assumption that you will not face all forms of discrimination in the process, the assumption you can take time off from work to see a doctor and the assumption you have the time, money and energy to follow such earnest and well grounded advice. She's not wrong, she just doesn't live in the same realty most of us inhabit. I hope she and other doctors see my comment, they need to recognize they come from a privileged position and their patients don't.
I don't know about "rich." That's a fake leather jacket. Just saying...
There is a huge message: Trust my body. Thanks.
So if don’t take drugs or hormones when this happens, am I just gonna die? Lol
You are a great teacher. You made is simple and easy to understand. Thank you.

The hot flashes are caused by increased cortisol levels which control body temperature ( cortisol is glucose which is also body sugar ) so If a woman doesn't have a good diet her chances of having hot flashes are high because it's caused by a sugar increase level.
Cortisol is not sugar.
@@VoltaireVI it’s a type of glucose which is body sugar
And cortisol controls your temperature
Get rid of my coffee and I'd have nothing left, and it's 30F, anyway. Kinda like spring to old women.
That wasent the best explaination I heard.
This is too daft. «Stop smoking, eat health, get enough sleep and exercise» is the advice we get for everything (for some reason she left out “moderate alcohol consumption”). I’m-so-perfect people make me slightly nauseated.
cannabis helped me through this nightmare. At 49, I'm on the other side and feeling much better.
Half a 10mg edible. I like Wana brand. Strawberry lemonade. 10mg CBD and 10 THC. Helps my back, too.
"A man that makes sperm" 🤦
Men who are infertile or who've had a vasectomy don't make sperm. Trans men don't make sperm. Not all men make sperm.
It's just as traumatic for men too! My friend went from a loving person to hating everyone around her :(
Did You know: You can get rid of this kinda people around You. It is absolutely OK to divorce, to end friendships and leave relationships when one partner is entering her toxic phase of life ....
To be right here, to took the time to watch the video to try and understand what she's going through. Is a brilliant move. Devoted love. Forget what the person says about divorce. To the woman that's going through menopause they're trying to understand it too, your not alone
@@amandalierly1291 It is OK to menopause, I didn't deny that.
Though, it is absolutely OK to end relationships/marriages turned toxic by her sudden changes.
It ain't mandatory, of course: Neither to become a toxic, asexual manhater, nor to leave a woman going through menopause. It is, though, nothing only one goes through and the other had to endure all of that crap no matter what: relationships consist of TWO people. One turning into a toxic hater does affect the other, who is free to leave the recently turned toxic, manhating one without regrets or even feeling bad.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 that's why we have our own opinion.
@@amandalierly1291 Nothing wrong with own opinions - as long as those ain't pushed onto other people as the only just ones. That's why I worded the "it is OK to do one's own thing" so utterly careful: "not mandatory", "...OK to ..." and so on.
It's a delicate matter, and it isn't easily combed all with the same brush.
It is, though, pretty important to see not only the single one side of the "menopause-equation" but watch carefully what *_the other part_* is going through, too.
Lots of lots of insults and aggressions and condemning of those who can not bare the new, manhating phase of their formerly beloved partner and thus draw the conclusion to better change their lives and turn towards someone *_not_* hating, constantly menacing and bullying them - it is unfair, unwanted and unnecessary to call the leaving one the culprit, as it's usually done.
Have a nice day!

Only magnet-wearing people disliked this
Is there such thing as a "meno-resume"? Like a video game
No. You have perimenopause, menopause and once there's no period for 12+ months, you're post. Forever.
Not a real doctor who is full of wrong information
I'm a guy and I'll never have menopause but this video was interesting nevertheless less lol
Ok, I don’t feel like she’s sugar coating anything, we are all different, with different symptoms and different ferocity of said symptoms. With that said… I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I eat clean, I stack probiotics and I have been strength training for over 10yrs… this DOES not make much of a difference in my symptoms. My hot flashes are 5yrs in and have progressively increased in intensity , sometimes a couple an hour, but definitely every hour and they follow either a min or so of either anxiety, nausea or heart palpitations. Night sweats yep, lack of sleep yep, spare tire around my belly, pisses me off, especially considering how hard I work at the gym. Skin looks horrible, I don’t want to leave the house, I don’t want to talk to anyone and don’t even think about touching me, I may kill you. So tomorrow at 2pm, I’m going in for HRT, I can’t do this anymore.
Bless you, your really going through it my friend. All your symptoms are so familiar with many of us so I personally share your pain. You are doing everything you possible can to help your body go through this transformation but sometimes our bodies just need a little more help than we personally can give which is where your medical professional (gp) comes in. Don’t feel bad that you have to reach out to them. Mine is fantastic & supportive. There are lots of different things they can introduce to help you with your transition. Your doing brilliant. You’ve got this. See you on the other side 👍💕💕
She should have mentioned HRT as a solution. It does work for many women. And that silly mantra at then end? Sorry but its like telling us it's ok to suffer? Sorry, not to be disrespectful, bit for some of us, the symptoms are really, really bad and this makes us feel like there is something wrong with us if we cant just happily say a mantra and get through it?
Second 🤣

This has to be the very worst explanation of menopause I’ve ever heard 🥵
I love the non gendered language you used here. It was amazing. Thank you love ❤
