Hello and a very warm welcome to you.
My Menopause.
A notable part of my background was my time served with the Royal Navy from 1991-1995. I am proud to have been one of the first ever Wrens to serve onboard the type 42 destroyer HMS Southampton, seeing action as part of the NATO Operation in the Bosnia conflict in 1992-1993.
I am now 51 years old and not even having been to war had prepared me for The Menopause Years.
I have been in Perimenopause for around 6 years. I have gained weight, experienced numerous hot flushes and heart palpitations. Brain fog has at times felt like the norm and my joints have felt like they need a vat of WD40 applying to them. I suffer from fatigue, mood swings and a loss of identity and confidence - and I only actually asked for help from my Doctor in November 2022. For some reason, I thought I could get through this alone (the old bury your head syndrome, just get on with it, I am strong and I don’t do asking for help!! Sound familiar?)
Don’t suffer in silence.
This is a really good time to be a Woman, because now there is so much more information than there ever has been AND we are talking about it. We are no longer afraid to say the word Menopause. So, don’t suffer in silence, it is just not necessary anymore (hoorah!!).
Generations have been faced with going through this minefield alone and I, myself, watched the life-changing affect it had on my own Mum. There is still much, much more to learn and we really have only scratched the surface. But one thing is for sure, this is one ship you do not have to go down with!
I am driven to elevate and learn as much as possible about this change to our bodies and minds. I have joined forces with and have become a fully licensed Ambassador for Menopause with a very credible and outstanding company called Menopause Expert Group. They have provided me with insightful and accredited education which I would now like to share with you. This is a CPD point training course.
