Who am I?
I’m not an expert. I want to be straight and clear about that from the start. I have absolutely no medical background or expertise in the field. I am, however, a 40 something woman who thinks it is time I understand what menopause is, how I will recognise it when it happens to me, and how I will manage the symptoms – if I get any. I imagine we’ve all heard about some of the symptoms that seem synonymous with menopause. Hot sweats, irritable mood, brain fog. Is that what I’m destined for? Should I sit back and do nothing or get myself prepared so I can make some informed choices when it will, inevitably, happen to me?
So, whilst I’m being a little selfish finding out what I think I need to know, I’m sharing it all with you too. This site has been created with us in mind. Menopause happens to about half of the UK population at some point or another, so it is time to take control.
For peace of mind, any information and quotes will be from reputed UK based sources. I will provide direct quotes and links to all information provided.
