Especially the person who told me that campaigning for more menopause research & better treatment of menopause was selfish because other diseases like cancer and heart disease etc are more important. 🤬 It was a woman, post menopausal. When I asked how was her menopause she said oh I didn’t have too many symptoms…….

Post by: Kathleen on April 28, 2022, 05:59:18 PM: Hello ladies.

I remember reading this article when it was first published in 2018. Depressing to think that so much of it still rings true!

I will check out the author's website, maybe she found the magic cure after all...

Take care ladies.
