As I concluded my conversation with Nigel, he shared some valuable advise to anyone who thinks they may be experiencing peri or meno symptoms.
- Don’t ignore it & brush it under the carpet. It is natural & normal & happens to every woman so don’t deny it.
- Start getting organised & use a symptom tracker & get specific about what is happening to you
- Do your research & find out what options are open to you, including HRT
- Gather the information so that you can go to your doctor fully informed.
The menopause & peri-menopause can be a chaotic, frightening & life changing transition for many women. It certainly was for me.
But the beauty of it is if you can embrace self-care & take control of things like lifestyle, diet, exercise & the whole well-being package you can create a life where you feel better than ever. And this can feel incredibly liberating.
Suddenly the menopause takes on a whole different perspective: an opportunity to re-evaluate your life, take control & start thriving.
And don’t forget even if you are not affected by the peri-menopause, menopause you will undoubtedly know someone: your mum, your sister, your daughter, your friend, who is noticing symptoms, so it’s worth knowing what to look out for.
