Being a woman means that at some point the menopause will hit with all horror stories of what it entails:
- hot flushes
- sleepless nights
- brain fog
- short temper
- hair thinning
- low mood
- reduced bone strength
As I approach my 50th birthday it is something I need to be aware of and find ways to mitigate the symptoms:
Menopause means that whilst there are no longer the issues of monthly periods, with the problems (and expense) these can bring, it is not an easy time for most women. The lack of quality sleep is something which can impact on all aspects of life. It is certainly something that I am currently struggling with.
