Menopause Your Way

[ERICS MUM]

I read on here a while back that Charlie goes commando under his suits. Quite ironic him presenting women’s knickers and the discussion about hygiene in that area.

When buying sanitary towels as a young teen, the shop put them in a plain brown paper bag.

Now, just thrown in your shopping trolley with everything else in the supermarket and put through by the checkout person.

I read that too - i find him creepy, especially when he keeps his hands in his pockets and holds the gaze of the brand ambassadors

Surely will be the rainbow colours ?

Of course ! How silly are we ? good one

My sanitary wear never rustled nor do my pee pads.

I’m surprised they didn’t zoom in and get a microphone right near and recreate it the sound for us all

I replied on the Who Buys Ths Stuff thread.

But, started with the supplements and over the counter wonder stuff that was show was total crap. Yes, QVC, that will include your shite.

The female doctor running the clinic really made me angry. Just because she might be on This Morning (never watch it) and put forward as an expert and prescribing what could be very dangerous as untested. Pushing oh it is your hormone, and you need 3 times the amount of recommended dose of HRT!

She was on Chris Evans a couple of weeks ago go … I’m sure she said she was doing a tour to help everyone… I liked her she took away the taboo of HRT but has she got greedy or something ? I bet she has .. she might push back and send a statement somewhere but she’s walking on extremely thin ice by the looks atm

No absolutely spot on

A proper ick isn’t it ?

May - I certainly don't think you're a prude. Sadly standards of decency have dropped over the last few years. My pet hate is the fashion for showing naked pregnant bellies and the term "baby bump". I must be a prude too.

Totally agree

So, 10 min chat with one of her staff costs £50, talk to one of the doctors who work for her £250 each time. And the price goes up.

Some people have real problems personally I think I just got on with it so must have been reasonably OK.I was for a time on HRT but complained to my Dr. I thought it was responsible for me putting on weight.He was having non of it he replied ‘ I think that is something to do with food intake’.

He was honest some MD's aren't.

Maybe he wears big baggy underwear which wouldn't prevent the swinging, but who wants to go there?!

Yes one doc said to me “ we all have to make the effort don’t we “? … lol it worked … I lost weight and started exercising .. so sometimes people just need a gentle encouragement from a stranger .. a few years ago now..

Apologies if this has been mentioned but I see there is the usual fixture of the menopause show on Friday (thank goodness as how else would women cope) and tonight there is a Panorama programme on bbc1 at 8 "The Menopause Industry". I am expecting it to confirm we should all buy as many of these products as we can get our hands on

Personally I’d be very happy if I never heard the word menopause again! It’s become the latest in a long line of “politically correct’ non issues. I had to work through mine - in a very stressful environment- and it never occurred to me to demand days off, rest periods, understanding from male colleagues etc etc. why do these women feel the need to broadcast it and ! Yes be informed, yes talk about it, but for heaven’s sake IT HAPPENS - always has always will (until AI robots take over anyway). It’ll be “periods hid way” next and I’m not joking. Just accept it and work with it. Something that has always made me smile and think! One of my old colleagues happened to have a moan at her elderly Mum about her menopause symptoms & asked her how she’d coped. The reply “Menopause, menopause- we didn’t have time for the ****** menopause, there was a War on”.

It'll be like in days gone by when women on their periods were hidden away and not allowed to mix with the rest of the villagers,cave dwellers etc. We fought in the 70's for equal rights and sometimes it seems that we are slowly going backwards.

Women on their periods treated like they were dirty. I remember my granny telling not to wash my hair!!! Nothing felt better than a lovely bath and hair wash, feeling clean and fresh.

I quite literally do not.
