It was quiet on the Menopausey front for the second half of 2024 for lots of reasons, but I'm finally re-emerging. I don't know how much I'll post here, if at all, but I'm launching another round of research as part of participating in an accelerator program and would love to get perspectives from this community. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/connectsdots_menopausey-tvx-research-interview-60-minutes-activity-7311846910976212994-RNhi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAbge4wBN7kRFq-f8759E2WqcAL1U4igmnE

1/2: It's a delicate dance. "Symptoms surprise" sounds like a vintage diner dessert akin to an unwanted Jello fruit salad...Balancing the hyperawareness of every little anomaly within our bodies/minds when new symptoms appear with the idea that our beliefs about aging can +/- affect our peri/menopause experiences...

Time to share another symptom! Read more about how hormonal fluctuations during peri/menopause can affect and/or trigger migraines here: https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/migraine-and-menopause/. The good news is that once we hit menopause, some people find that migraines decrease or stop.

It’s been a wild symptoms ride in the last couple of weeks. I’ve heard from a doc and an NP that headaches and bleeding longer aren’t indicative of perimenopause 🤔. In the meantime, here’s another symptom from my “Welcome to Perimenopause” series and a few links/resources in reply casts.

A must-watch and newly released TED Talk from Maria Sophocles. Lots of great resources shared under the About the speaker section, too. https://www.ted.com/talks/maria_sophocles_what_happens_to_sex_in_midlife_a_look_at_the_bedroom_gap?language=en

Did you know that there are dozens of peri/menopause symptoms? I'm using yesterday's personal visit from vertigo as a nudge to start sharing from my series, "Welcome to Perimenopause." Inspired by nostalgia and being fiercely unapologetic, I've created digital pieces for 34 symptoms.

I'm looking forward to digging into the Menopause 2024 series from The Lancet. It's so hard to find and make sense of credible information related to perimenopause and menopause. https://www.thelancet.com/series/menopause-2024
