Birthday thoughts!
« on: October 31, 2013, 12:02:34 PM »

Goodmorning and Happy Halloween!
Yesterday I became 55. Where have all the years gone? In my head I feel 25--my brain hasn't quite kept up with my body. I am well and truly menopausal, but it's OK. I do take HRT, which helps hugely but I am well aware that it is not needed for everyone. I do have to work harder to keep the weight under control but feel that the investment in time and energy to take regular exercise and eat healthily is well worth it. I know about the benefits of HRT for me but I still need to put in extra effort to look after my bones and my heart.
So I just wanted to say, thank-you to all of you that read and contribute to this forum and help each other. I would love to help you all more but the best I can do is continue to run Menopause Matters and hope that it helps
Best wishes
Heather

Hi Heather
Many Happy Returns :hbday:
It's really good to know you have personal experience of the menopause and it's challenges - and it's great to know there is someone fighting in our corner for us.
This site is ab fab - I am learning so much from it and trying to be supportive to others.
Love and best wishes  DG x

 :hbday: from me too Heather!

Menopause Matters is an amazing resource full of accurate and up-to-date information about the menopause and HRT, and the forum enables us to support each other as well as to direct other women to where they can read more about it and help themselves.

I don't know where I would be now without it - at 60 and still on HRT - as well as the resources and information on the site, I have received such a lot of ideas, encouragement and friendship from the women on this forum, and it is rewarding to share experiences and advice with others to help improve their lives.

Thank you for what you've done to make this possible and hope you had a good birthday!

Best wishes

Happy Birthday Heather.

I am a relative newbie, but the information I have gleaned in the last few days as been fantastic.  You don't feel so alone when there is a group of you all going down the same road so to speak.

I think it makes such a difference having a professional who knows what we are speaking about and can lean on personal experience.

Hope you had a great birthday.
