Menopause. My menopause was very mild, short, and early (42 yrs. old). Now...I believe it was bcuz I had TERRIBLE periods. Imagine 7-day cycles, heavy bleeding, morning sickness the 1st day (Yes, morning sickness) with vomiting and excruciating cramps that had me in a fetal position for hours. Sent home from school (H.S.) once after vomiting on my desk, some got on the boy seated in front of me. So, I believed God blessed me with a short, pain- and drama-free menopause. "Thank You, Lord."
I pray mine is mild and short and early also. With no negative symptoms afterwards. I have been 7 days heavy since I was 11. I’ve had those same experiences as you. It’s been rough. Praying for God’s Mercy on me in this next season. Turning 45 in September🥰
My cycles were excruciating and I had the same symptoms you did. They have gotten better since I had my daughter and they are shorter now. I hope menopause is smooth sailing when it happens.
I'm 71 and really enjoyed this content. I'm doing what my Mama always said Keep on Living. In other words you will come across many things in life good and bad. Keep on living sisters.❤
I am 70 years old and most people don't believe it. I walk every single day for 30 minutes and I do other exercises 3 times a week. I feel great. As you mentioned Angela my hair did thin out in the back of my head, I also have hooded eyes. Other then that I have no complaints. Have a wonderful and blessed day ahead.❤
@@Neoladinas274 loving the 70's club yes exercise is essential and we are blessed to reach our 70's so many people don't make it. We still have a lot of life to live ❤️
I'm 51 and menopause is not for the weak. It's not just the hot flashes that most ppl talk about...its the brain fog, frozen shoulder, ear ringing, hair thinning, burning tongue... its a bunch of stuff that may happen to you all because of estrogen. And antidepressants are overprescribed. I would suggest if look into HRT or something that replaces estrogen because it affects EVERY organ in your body. So long term not having it puts women to the front of the line for heart disease. Lastly LIFT WEIGHTS ... you will not bulk up. You need it to maintain muscle mass and your bone density. Great summary Angela. Thanks for sharing.
Pre-meniopause started in late 30's, now in my late 60's post menopausal phase.....and at peace with an ever evoling life. Hot flashes, night sweats, moody, thining hair, early greying of hair, body changes. Now, I drink lots of water, motion is lotion.....keep up with fashion, eat better, make sure you get enough vegetables, fruits and protein. Live your life and laugh ALOT!
I can share what happens in your 70's. The key is exercise, keep moving, drink plenty water and keep a positive mind. Continue to learn and stay in the know with fashion. One problem that is annoying are those chin hairs !! Trying to figure it out.
Thank you Angella, as a nurse practitioner who is going through menopause thank you for highlighting this very crucial women’s health topic 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I am on estrogen as well! Thank God for it. Thought I was gonna be committed to the psych unit!!
Wow. I turn 40 next year and your first point was so poignant. I’m sadly moving through the pruning phase. Excited to see the friendships that strengthen in my forties.
You are blessed to have friends who's values aligned with yours. I've been solo the past few years, because the women in my life were stuck doing the same thing and expecting different results. When I turned 40 A LOT of things shifted for me mentally and physically. I'm now 44 and in the best shape of my life! Great video as usual and I love being called "Auntie" Keep up the excellent work. 💕
I moved and friendships failed me. It’s hard to make friends over 40. As I prepare for 50, I’m turning 48 in September, I realized that I have to find ways to find joy without them. It hurt, it hurt bad when no one calls and no one answers your calls but God. I’m going to be alright.
@@sandracalderon6438 You can certainly find happiness without those people who failed you. I enjoy lots of alone time, so it hasn't been difficult for me. However I do understand some personalities need companionship more than others. You will definitely be alright and hopefully you will find it in your heart to adopt a fur baby. If you don't already have one.💕🐾
I just did an 8 week course through our Veterans Administration building. It was 8 weeks of learning about menopause. It was amazing. She was one of two menopause specialists in the country. If you are a woman veteran, call your VA and check in with your women's clinic. They can also give you pH balancing lube if you get dry.
@Bronzefox9035 Omg, you are a blessing! I can't thank you enough! I'm not in the VA, but I would love to take a menopause course. I'm in my late 30s, but I still would like to learn what to expect.
Yes indeed your circle will be small. Yet just enough. I’m an empty nester and feeling amazing! Learned to stretch everyday too. Thanks for the truth! So appreciative of your wisdom.
I am post menopause. I am 72 and just today my daughter was telling me about her menopausal symptoms. This is great information. Thank you for posting this. I will share ❤️
My night sweats started at 35. I take Flaxseed capsule with omega in them 2 times a day,per my OB, and no flashes show up anymore for over 15 yrs now. And you DIDN'T lie about nothing. All of your points about life happens, are on Point, Angela!!!!❤❤✌🏾 Hey Production 👋🏾
You’re so right about menopause I’m 60 I started in my 40s..It finally slowed down in my early 50s It was hot flashes every 15mins every single day...I stl have a few, but they’re far & in between..
My mom, and I'm sure many others, have said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything." Consider others, and put yourself in their shoes when receiving that comment. Enough said.
Auntie❤. I felt EVERY word you said when you discussed menopause. When I tell you I was OVER it!!! I thank God for my GYN. The patches are patching hunty!!
Absolutely everything is true …The worst menopause episode I had and will never forget…it was a Saturday I had a wedding to go to. I had my hair done the day before and it was pinned up because I wanted to wear long curls. As I got dressed, I stood in front of a fan to keep my body cool… so I put on my clothes, my make up pulled the pins out of my hair, checked myself in the mirror and everything was perfect…I went to the garage to get into my car and when I tell you the second I open the garage door, I felt my blood boiling in my veins like hot water, I fiercely sweated out my clothes and my hair; I debated whether to go or not, but it was a very good girl friends wedding…so I got another outfit together, took a another shower, and put this hair in a ponytail… and to make it even worse, I took a cold shower and it did not cool me off… I had to wait it out… I’ve never had an episode like that again and that was a few years ago thank God…(I was in my mid-50s and now I’m 61) And you see the worst menopause episode I had it yes I’m gonna also have a conversation with Eve, I think she knows there’s a lot of us who wanna have a conversation with her in the upper room😂…
the empty nester part with 1 child, thats me.... It was hard for me not to wanna go over , too cook n clean for my son...he says MOM im good ...hahahahahahaha
I’m 43 and have always looked for a mother figure sadly mine is alive and well but has zero interest in motherhood w all 5 of her children so i immediately subscribed and liked quite a few videos because let’s be real not everyone has a mother auntie sister so thank you
Ate Angela, Thank you for doing this video. They’re not that much content from women of mature ages telling it like it is when you hit 40. Everything you said are so true. I am experiencing most of the topics you are discussing. 🥰🙌
I'm 59, started menopause at 54. You are SO right about the amount of F's not given about what people think of me. I have also become more somewhat mean.
Girrrrlll. You nailed it! When you mentioned having hot flashes in church I bursted out laughing. I remember getting so hot at church I imagined myself running around butt naked and started to laugh. My daughter asked me if I was okay. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m 42 and you cannot tell me I’m not in the beginning phases of menopause. SMH but thank you for this valuable content. I’m thankful and grateful to still be here to fight this fight ❤
Great job and great service you just shared with the younger ladies. I am 66 menopause hit me at 50 nobody told me anything. One bit of advice insist your doctor test your vitamin and mineral levels. Deficiencies are dangerous they will tell you that you don't need it if you eat a balanced diet that does not apply to most.
I am 47 and already experiencing that M word. I am not intrigued to wear makeup because I sweat through the layers. The gym is my best friend because I am free to sweat. However, being a flight attendant, while working on the aircraft and you get those hot flashes is a nemesis. I sweat through my uniform and I have to pat my face dry feom the sweat, drink lots of COLD water to cool myself down before I face the passengers. This Texas and Florida heat isn't helping 😒
Angela this was a wonderful conversation. I had the same experience and fired my Doctor of 20 years. Sure did. I’ve had a female OB/GYN for years and will be on HRT until I leave here. 😂😂😂 Every woman is different but you don’t have to suffer.
Hi Angela, Thank you, for sharing your video on Women 40 to 60 years experiences. It was very helpful me, continue to do what you do, it gives women a way to relate and connect with what matters most, Stay bless. Regards Sharon
Angela, this is such a great video! My hair texture has definitely changed. I am 54. Such great content! Exactly, what others think of you is none of your business. I’m there now. And I dress for comfort because that’s what I want to do. And I don’t care who don’t like it. 😊
Great video! I will be an empty nester next year so thanks for sharing that...my only child will be moving out to go to college😢. I am also experiencing menopause symptoms at 40 and those night sweats are the worst! That feeling of losing your mind is no joke! I feel like there needs to be a woman over 40 support group lol...thanks for the video!!
My hair is thinning too but mine started in my early 30s after going through my divorce. The injections from the dermatologist helped but it can be painful and expensive. I’ve stopped the treatments and I’m trying natural treatments like herbs, teas and essential oils.
Girl you are preaching here. For the first time I can hear my knees at 50! I’ve had hot flashes from age 12, I’m not sure I was ever not perimenopausal. 🤣🤭🥴😐
This was so refreshing to hear! Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned. This is something I wish an older woman told me years ago. I’m 48 and I remember when a young lady in church called me “Auntie.” I was shocked and pleased at the same time. 😊 I’m so excited about my 50’s. I feel like my 40’s was a “get-to-know-me” decade, when I learned myself and the people around me got to learn her too. I’m loving this journey. The freedom to grow is beautiful! I can’t say I’m in menopause. My story is different to many. For reasons none of my doctors could explain, I bled HEAVILY for 10 years, with no real cycle to track. It was terrible. And one day, after much prayer, fasting and Ho early begging God to take it away, my period stopped. My last period was in 2021. No hot flashes. No weird symptoms. Nothing. When I tell you I feel FREE in so many ways!!! 🙌🏽 I hear friends tell their stories and I’m grateful I can’t relate. I do relate to much of what you said about relationships. Family, friends, business, faith - everything changed in my forties for the better. I’m grateful and looking forward to at least the next 60 wonderful years ahead of me! I can’t wait to blow a hundred candles out! 🎂💃🏽✨😁🙌🏽 Blessings for loooong and healthy Life. Stay well. 🙏🏽
Miss Angela, Angela, Angelaaaaa everry single sentence you made is what I've been telling poeple around me. Every word is true. I am 54 years too, got this year alopecia, rash skin, psoriasis you name it. Feels like life hit me very hard. But you are right in every word. Last thing I can tell is that you open doors for other women. It is you that openend the door for me to dye my hair when I got my hair back. So what people say about us, they can take it back or hush. I love your channel and when I feel like I miss something is always I search for your channel. Much love and be blessed 😘❤💪💪
Thank you so much for talking about this. If I didn't hear an older lady talk about sticking her head in the freezer, I wouldn't have any idea about what menopause could include. Another older friend of mine told me years ago about having hot flashes. Those were the only two people who said anything relating to the symptoms of menopause. I recently read a menopause book by a doctor, and I learned that menopause education isn't something that a lot of doctors have, which is why there is the lack of conversation combined with the lack of Education
Next, thank you Ms. Angela. I am forwarding this video to my son and daughter. You have articulated these 10 things so well. Thank you . Thank you Thank you.🎉 Have a wonderful day.
Hi Auntie A! This is a great video for women who don't have moms or aunties to share. I'm grateful I did not experience the hot flashes or typical menopause experiences. I started and finished by 41. Praying for more conversations like this as it helps all of us prepare and advocate for our health, wellbeing and quality of life. Love you Auntie A!❤
Thank you for sharing such wonderful advice. For those experiencing the M-dilemma, I will say this: please deal with hot flashes as though you are on your best vacation ever! It's my secret sauce. When the heat flashes come, I imagine myself sitting near a pool in the hot sun. I first envisioned what I had on and wondered where I put that caftan. When I remembered that pleasant moment, I was in the sun having a fruit smoothie. I enjoyed a plate of fresh fruit along with granola. I knew the moment wouldn't last forever so I just took it all in. At that time, there were early signs of menopause. I was barely 40. Ten years later when menopause came, I decided to treat every heat flash the same. I also will (at the drop of a dime) get up and make a smoothie when I realize the heat is coming on. I also keep ice packs in the fridge for those late-night moments along with smoothie starters (so I don't have to start from scratch) and yogurt. I started going to bed with bottled water on my nightstand (another vacation tip). Then I learned the beauty of placing ice at the nape of your neck or wrist. Luckily, my Indian Summers have subsided. Thanks again! -xoxo
Thank you Angela I appreciate you doing this video I wish I knew this 10 years ago menopause has ravished by body because my physician was not listening. I went through the worst anxiety like you I threw away the antidepressant was not for me. I’ve had vertigo for over 7 years along with headaches not to mention getting a divorce while going through all this. I’m 60 years now so too late hormonal therapy I just ask God everyday to keep me from falling.
🙏😊 I am sorry that I don't have a really good friend to hang out with. I do have my childhood friends that I conversate with. However, we don't really spend time together. Mrs Angela, another great chat. Thank you. 🙏😊
Angie, I am 72 and still having hot flashes. The night sweats have stopped and there was hair loss (my edges went away). It seems that in my family, they last well into our 70’s. It’s no joke! 🥵🔥
I’m nearly 48… It’s been a wild past 10 years really ramping up these last 3! I’m taking it in stride. Empty nesting came early for me as well. My kids have been gone since I was 40… It was at first a pleasant surprise, then a little sad when they come home for visits, then lovely again. This video is important… The nieces need to know!
I really wish you were around when I first entered the '40s. I went through so many changes and still going through those changes. I'm glad to learn that I'm not crazy... 😂 I am going through some hair issues though. I'm curious... What hair treatment are you using to keep your hair thick? I think I have hereditary hair loss but if I can do something to keep my hair from falling out or staying thick, that would be awesome! Thanks a bunch!!
I get me hair medications from my Dermatologist. I only see her once a year now. It's essentially rogaine for women, but it's custom made by the pharmacy
I started menopause at 55 and didn't have any hot flashes until a year later. I decided to take the holistic route and it works for me. I don't want to have to take pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life. Acupuncture and herbs have been very helpful.
Yes, Lord. I would like to see more of this content. Why not? Let me mention that I started menopause at age 38, but my "male" doctor misdiagnosed me. My hot flashes and everything else started at 52 and ended at 54. But ... seven years later (last year), they are back with a vengeance😢😮. We are all different, but beware, ladies.
Thank you for sharing good information, and for sharing your story. You always bring joy to my heart and a smile on my face. Your confidence meets your stride and I ❤ that about you. The blonde and platinum both look amazing on you as always. 1❤!
This one was a hard one. A few of them, I didnt experience, I feel like I missed out. But you know this is all good info. Im living at 49, still fine, srill got time if irs Gods will🎉
Hi Angela I am in my late 70's and I still have nite sweats and is happily married and I am living my life to the fullest and I love your videos and everything you cover from fashion to everyday life
Thanks for making this video Angela. I wish someone had told me what I would be experiencing during peri menopause. I started with hot flashes and mood swings at 39. No kidding. I’m 46 and I’m still suffering. I still get my menstrual but irregular of course. I want to start HRT but I still can’t find the right doctor. It’s difficult.
I almost feel that their is something wrong with me. Because I never went through hot flushes at all. I had no experience. I just don't know what I was supposed to feel. I am now 64....
Gurl the truth will set us free gurl my husband loves the heat I can’t stand it those hot flashes are the devil I loss both of my parents to lung cancer I’m very concern about taking hormone replacements Being linked to cancer so I take over the corner menopause supplements they help some I was just laughing listening to you my mother had bad Menopause on her death bed she was still having hot flashes I miss my dearly please do more videos I just love your content everything you said was spot on love look so Pretty in your leopard and that hair is everything continue blessings 👌🏽🙏🏾🫶🏽
I am 70 years old and yes every I mean everything you said is true I didn’t get any hormone replacement because I use to smoke cigarettes and I was told I was not able to get hormone replacement because I might get blood clots or something like that I forgot. Anyhow preach
I would like to send you a Jamaican cup along with the blue Mountain coffee !! Let me know how .omg God, I can't stop laughing. You are too funny I think I Crack a ribs from laughing so hard because thats the truth.

My cycles were excruciating and I had the same symptoms you did. They have gotten better since I had my daughter and they are shorter now. I hope menopause is smooth sailing when it happens.
Never thought I would have a period twin but you pegged it. I had a partial hysterectomy at 44 and even though I fought it, it was truly a blessing.

Why are there only two in the country? Why don’t older women educate younger women about this? Why do we have to suffer? Help one another.

I feel like there needs to be a woman over 40 support group lol...thanks for the video!!
My hair is thinning too but mine started in my early 30s after going through my divorce. The injections from the dermatologist helped but it can be painful and expensive. I’ve stopped the treatments and I’m trying natural treatments like herbs, teas and essential oils.
Hormonal replacement therapy greatly decreased my menopausal symptoms🙌🏾
Girl you are preaching here. For the first time I can hear my knees at 50! I’ve had hot flashes from age 12, I’m not sure I was ever not perimenopausal. 🤣🤭🥴😐
Gurl- such vital information for ALL women. The young Gurlz need to know these things - so they can prepare accordingly. Well done Sis!!
This was so refreshing to hear! Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned. This is something I wish an older woman told me years ago. I’m 48 and I remember when a young lady in church called me “Auntie.” I was shocked and pleased at the same time. 😊 I’m so excited about my 50’s. I feel like my 40’s was a “get-to-know-me” decade, when I learned myself and the people around me got to learn her too. I’m loving this journey. The freedom to grow is beautiful! I can’t say I’m in menopause. My story is different to many. For reasons none of my doctors could explain, I bled HEAVILY for 10 years, with no real cycle to track. It was terrible. And one day, after much prayer, fasting and Ho early begging God to take it away, my period stopped. My last period was in 2021. No hot flashes. No weird symptoms. Nothing. When I tell you I feel FREE in so many ways!!! 🙌🏽 I hear friends tell their stories and I’m grateful I can’t relate. I do relate to much of what you said about relationships. Family, friends, business, faith - everything changed in my forties for the better. I’m grateful and looking forward to at least the next 60 wonderful years ahead of me! I can’t wait to blow a hundred candles out! 🎂💃🏽✨😁🙌🏽 Blessings for loooong and healthy Life. Stay well. 🙏🏽
Your skin is glowing.
Miss Angela, Angela, Angelaaaaa everry single sentence you made is what I've been telling poeple around me. Every word is true. I am 54 years too, got this year alopecia, rash skin, psoriasis you name it. Feels like life hit me very hard. But you are right in every word. Last thing I can tell is that you open doors for other women. It is you that openend the door for me to dye my hair when I got my hair back. So what people say about us, they can take it back or hush. I love your channel and when I feel like I miss something is always I search for your channel. Much love and be blessed 😘❤💪💪
Thank you so much for talking about this. If I didn't hear an older lady talk about sticking her head in the freezer, I wouldn't have any idea about what menopause could include. Another older friend of mine told me years ago about having hot flashes. Those were the only two people who said anything relating to the symptoms of menopause. I recently read a menopause book by a doctor, and I learned that menopause education isn't something that a lot of doctors have, which is why there is the lack of conversation combined with the lack of Education
Next, thank you Ms. Angela. I am forwarding this video to my son and daughter. You have articulated these 10 things so well. Thank you . Thank you Thank you.🎉
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for sharing much needed!!🙏🏾🥰
Hello Ms Angela thanks for the information.💜🌸
Thanks for this. I enjoyed this video and would appreciate more like this!
I’m 43. I consider you cousin Angie. Most of these I would agree with you on. Some I haven’t been through just yet.
Hi Auntie A! This is a great video for women who don't have moms or aunties to share. I'm grateful I did not experience the hot flashes or typical menopause experiences. I started and finished by 41. Praying for more conversations like this as it helps all of us prepare and advocate for our health, wellbeing and quality of life. Love you Auntie A!❤
Thank you for sharing such wonderful advice. For those experiencing the M-dilemma, I will say this: please deal with hot flashes as though you are on your best vacation ever! It's my secret sauce. When the heat flashes come, I imagine myself sitting near a pool in the hot sun. I first envisioned what I had on and wondered where I put that caftan. When I remembered that pleasant moment, I was in the sun having a fruit smoothie. I enjoyed a plate of fresh fruit along with granola. I knew the moment wouldn't last forever so I just took it all in. At that time, there were early signs of menopause. I was barely 40. Ten years later when menopause came, I decided to treat every heat flash the same. I also will (at the drop of a dime) get up and make a smoothie when I realize the heat is coming on. I also keep ice packs in the fridge for those late-night moments along with smoothie starters (so I don't have to start from scratch) and yogurt. I started going to bed with bottled water on my nightstand (another vacation tip). Then I learned the beauty of placing ice at the nape of your neck or wrist. Luckily, my Indian Summers have subsided. Thanks again! -xoxo
Thank you;happy to follow you I’m in my 70 and I love fashion ;really I enjoy what you do❤
Thank you for sharing, definitely do more videos like this!
I’m turning 40 at the end of the month 🙌🏽💖
Great talk! Thanks for sharing! From what I know I think you did a good job explaining and making it relatable! 💜
Thank you Angela I appreciate you doing this video I wish I knew this 10 years ago menopause has ravished by body because my physician was not listening. I went through the worst anxiety like you I threw away the antidepressant was not for me. I’ve had vertigo for over 7 years along with headaches not to mention getting a divorce while going through all this. I’m 60 years now so too late hormonal therapy I just ask God everyday to keep me from falling.
I’m 52 and started hormone therapy over a year ago after trying to deal with all the menopausal issues naturally. Best decision I ever made.
Me too. But why hadn’t anyone mentioned it to us? Once I talked about it they disclosed about the hormone replacement therapy.
Love the conversation. Please do more I want to prepare myself for it
Hello Angela! Love your content and yes, you nailed it! Thank you for this very candid conversation.
Your hair was beautiful either way and that's your business. Period.
Absolutely AWESOME !
Hi Angela, this is an excellent video, and it's true. You are hilarious😊. Love you Sis
Hey Holli....menopause is the devil😂
🙏😊 I am sorry that I don't have a really good friend to hang out with. I do have my childhood friends that I conversate with. However, we don't really spend time together. Mrs Angela, another great chat. Thank you. 🙏😊
Angie, I am 72 and still having hot flashes. The night sweats have stopped and there was hair loss (my edges went away). It seems that in my family, they last well into our 70’s. It’s no joke! 🥵🔥
I’m nearly 48… It’s been a wild past 10 years really ramping up these last 3! I’m taking it in stride.
Empty nesting came early for me as well. My kids have been gone since I was 40… It was at first a pleasant surprise, then a little sad when they come home for visits, then lovely again.
This video is important… The nieces need to know!
I really wish you were around when I first entered the '40s. I went through so many changes and still going through those changes. I'm glad to learn that I'm not crazy... 😂 I am going through some hair issues though. I'm curious... What hair treatment are you using to keep your hair thick? I think I have hereditary hair loss but if I can do something to keep my hair from falling out or staying thick, that would be awesome! Thanks a bunch!!
I get me hair medications from my Dermatologist. I only see her once a year now. It's essentially rogaine for women, but it's custom made by the pharmacy
I started menopause at 55 and didn't have any hot flashes until a year later. I decided to take the holistic route and it works for me. I don't want to have to take pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life. Acupuncture and herbs have been very helpful.
I loved this one ❤ you answered a lot of questions I was wondering about Thank You 😊
Hi Angela love your videos this one is so true. I’m 68 years young and I agree with everything you’ve described…girlll thank you!
Yes, Lord. I would like to see more of this content. Why not? Let me mention that I started menopause at age 38, but my "male" doctor misdiagnosed me. My hot flashes and everything else started at 52 and ended at 54. But ... seven years later (last year), they are back with a vengeance😢😮. We are all different, but beware, ladies.
I truly agree having an older girlfriend has help me understand the seasons of raising kids, and adjustments of my body, and self care
Thank you for sharing good information, and for sharing your story. You always bring joy to my heart and a smile on my face. Your confidence meets your stride and I ❤ that about you. The blonde and platinum both look amazing on you as always. 1❤!
This one was a hard one. A few of them, I didnt experience, I feel like I missed out. But you know this is all good info. Im living at 49, still fine, srill got time if irs Gods will🎉
I’m here for this❤❤❤
Thank you for the beautiful message.
Great video Angela. I identify with you on so many of the things you said.
Question: which HRT are you on, if it's not too personal?
Hi Angela I am in my late 70's and I still have nite sweats and is happily married and I am living my life to the fullest and I love your videos and everything you cover from fashion to everyday life
Thank you for this video. More of them please.
Angela…. Thank you so much for this💕
ty aunty angela
Hi, although I have passed all of this, I had to research. It would have been nice if older sisters had shared. Thank you
I did not have any of those things going through menopause. I am so grateful. No hormone replacement therapy.
You are soooo very lucky
Thanks for making this video Angela. I wish someone had told me what I would be experiencing during peri menopause. I started with hot flashes and mood swings at 39. No kidding. I’m 46 and I’m still suffering. I still get my menstrual but irregular of course. I want to start HRT but I still can’t find the right doctor. It’s difficult.
Thank you. Great information. All true
I almost feel that their is something wrong with me. Because I never went through hot flushes at all. I had no experience. I just don't know what I was supposed to feel. I am now 64....
You look great Angela
Enjoyed this video!
