I was still having regular as clockwork periods at 53.
Its realy interesting to hear your views on this ladies.
It might be worth mentioning that Carol.has been quoted as saying ". 'I didn't have any of those hot sweats and all of that kind of thing" . So may be worth bearing in mind when it comes to evaluating her statements on how quickly a "little bit of gel" changed her life
The effects on mental health of menopause for some of us cant be overstated in my opinion and i believe its vital to talk about mental health. If she says she had no other symptoms then who am I to disbelieve her. I'm glad for her that she didnt But in the wider picture, I hope it's not the fact that maybe talking about MH has (thankfully) become less of a taboo whereas in the Peter pan airbrushed world of showbiz where women are constantly sexualised, talking about a dry vag or peeing yourself may still have a way to go!!
I've got nothing against Carol. She looks amazing. Although please don't dismiss the other meno symptoms as "all that kind of thing". Carol!!!
Speaking generally, its business. If someone is flogging an anti ageing face cream and then admits to a facelift they might see the end of that contract. The companies know of course but when the shit hits the fan as it did with Fern Brittain it's the celeb who takes the financial fall. So there is an incentive for them to deny surgery whether by ommision or downright lying . Usually I would say It's up to an individual what they chose to reveal about surgery.as it's a private matter but when it comes to celebs attributing certain products to their looks and its realy the result of surgery then that's a bit more than disingenuous in my opinion.
