Menopause - for all those who messaged - publicly & via DM - thank you. Yes I will keep talking abt peri/menopause publicly to raise awareness & to keep pressure on @niexecutive @healthdpt to do more for women & our health. Women already do a lot for each other don’t stop 🌈🏃♀️
Menopause - awake since after 3 30am! I thought I was over the worst of symptoms but after 5 years it feels like I’m starting over. All symptoms back with a vengeance. You shld not mess abt with HRT changing doses/patches.. it must be sorted by GP. It’s crap! Work soon
Menopause - it’s difficult understanding what it’s all about. This podcast will help, it is excellent. Thanks to all who took part. I wish GPs, employers, colleagues, partners, friends .. would listen. @claudiahammond 🌈🏃♀️
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3… I recorded this at the NI Science Festival last year. Very informed and well read panel
Menopause affects so many parts of women’s bodies - ovaries, muscles, skin and our brain. Brain fog is debilitating. Exercise becomes hard. And Every day another woman will find herself in peri/menopause. List your symptoms and look/ask for help. @BrMenopauseSoc @MenoScandal
We’re going to see Bob.
Meanwhile I’m sure @bobdylan will sleep soundly tonight… 🤞

If life is feeling a little heavy - I recommend you pick this up. It’s a reminder to see the good in people and not to be too hard on ourselves. This is beautiful. @NiallL90377 thank you for Noel. “By the grace of new chapters, it was morning”.
