I have two main reasons for starting this blog.
The first one is that I want to raise awareness of this matter. I want the medical world and all those traditional/conservative doctors that treat based on protocols, without a comprehensive perspective to stop considering this stage in a woman’s existence as normal. Yes, it is part of humans’ life cycle, I am not denying that. But it’s very difficult and painful. I am sure that the technological/medical progress we made offers the resources for extensive research and adequate therapies. If only someone would give this issue the importance it deserves!
My second reason is to document all the changes my mind and body are going through, such as other women know they are not alone in this.
I would be grateful if you share your experiences with me. And together maybe we can start the wheels spinning.
Libido
Sad but true: the only thing I want in between my legs these days is…
Brain fog
Hair
Hairy Styles – yes, this article has Harry Styles in mind and his song: “in this world, it’s just us/you know it’s not the same as it was”…
Urinary tract
Constantly needing a toilet, even if for just a few drops…
About me
Hey there! I’m 45 year old GG(Gigi) and, like many other women on this planet, I am approaching menopause. After living with endometriosis all my fertile life – for which I even had surgery (that did absolutely nothing), here I am facing that stage that I thought I was looking forward to. Wrong! Being perimenopausal, I am experiencing “the best of both worlds” – still painful and somewhat regular periods, and everything that comes with the estrogen/progesterone imbalance – you ladies know what I am talking about.
I grew up very active, playing sports, and enjoying everything dynamic. My body was the instrument that gave me so much joy for all the things I could do with it. It was far from perfect, but it was mine, and I loved it. In this last year, I wake up in the morning and I don’t feel myself anymore. It’s almost as if I am living in someone else’s body – transformations that no one told me about, that in my opinion need to be addressed.
