Article I enjoyed and wanted to share with you.
« on: August 17, 2019, 11:59:08 AM »

Hi girls,

My OH showed me this article written by Grace Dent. It makes for some light funny reading, as the exert below shows, and rings a lot of bells.


"The more a woman reads on the subject, the less she understands; the far from exhaustive list of potential menopause symptoms reads like a “reason for incarceration” list from a late Elizabethan asylum. Belly swell? Retinal migraine? Moist knee backs? Constipation? Ear buzz? Eye flicker? Groinal itch? Righteous anger? Sexual loucheness? Roaring atrophy? Beard-growth? Too sleepy? Never sleepy? None of the above, some of the above. See your GP for advice, in two weeks' time, for seven minutes. He or she has had 45 minutes of fanjo training, five years ago. Or maybe don't bother. It will be over at some point in the next 20 years. Chin up!"

I did a podcast the other week with Meg Mathews about shrivelled up Fanjos & the serious side & misery of vaginal atrophy, is a good podcast.

Nice one MJ,

Can you link it for us in this thread? I'm not on FBK through choice so haven't heard it.
