Managing menopause
I was 40 years old when I experienced the first effects of menopause. It wasn’t awful – no night sweats, mood swings or brain fog. I simply missed my period during the month of August. I had never missed one before. The following August, I didn’t get it again. And the year after that. It was a gradual change. One month, then two, then slowly over time it stopped.
Although this part of my cycle was slowly changing, there were other changes that were far from slow, far from graceful, and far from pleasant.
