Menopause Help

Lots of women suffer in silence at this pretty heinous time of life without getting menopause help. There are lots of different ways to get help with menopause (other than your GP) – including groups on Social Media and for some, the answers can be there at your fingertips. There are lots of self-help techniques, Herbal Remedies, and group discussions, with for and against ideas that work and don’t work. Just remember EVERYBODY is different.

Going through the Menopause…

I think it is a terrible shame that at 40 years old, we aren’t given a booklet from our GPs giving us an idea and inkling of what’s to come. I have lots of friends that have suffered unnecessarily (I feel) for years, thinking a problem is something quite serious which ends up being menopause related!

To name but a few…vertigo, tinnitus, mood swings, depression, anxiety, bad skin, lack of energy, hot flushes, memory problems and brain fog… If only we had known about these possible symptoms, they could have been dealt with much quicker and not kept hidden from others because we were too ashamed to speak up.

That is why I have written a book ‘Menopause Help: Before, During, After’ which covers all the main symptoms that women suffer during Menopause! This is to help spread the word about Menopause and encourage people to talk about the subject and keep women informed!

Many women have said that Soy Isoflavones are great for hot flushes and brain fog so I would definitely recommend giving this a try! I have also heard that St John’s Wort is great for anxiety! If you want to hear about any other remedies I have tried and tested Click here!

Another great idea is us ladies getting together over a coffee or gin (far more likely!!) and opening up about how we feel and talking candidly about our experience of the menopause. If only one person walks away feeling better, it is one less person worrying or one who might seek further help and for one friend of mine this saved her life!

I didn’t realise how many of us are suffering in silence and having given up mentioning it to partners or friends and family, as we feel we are being judged as moaning or (has been mentioned to me lots over the years) being a hypochondriac! Yes, some may breeze through it with no symptoms at all and others try everything they can to self-help, yet still suffer no end, and it can be totally debilitating, affecting work, mental health, relationships and some of us lose many years of our lives to it.

Without a doubt, for me, exercise has been key and diet another major factor, but talking about how you feel to likeminded women is also a lifesaver. They are far more empathetic and positive, able to make sensitive and sensible suggestions as they are going through the same. Another thing that really motivates me is putting my headphones in and going for a power walk, its amazing how blaring your favourite music and getting some fresh air makes you feel. I love using my apple airpods when exercising and going for a walk and highly recommend them for exercising as there are no wires to get tangled up!

Menopause can be a difficult time in a women’s life so it’s important that we all stick together and help each-other out where we can to spread the word about Menopause!
