5 things I hate about perimenopause
By Hot Flash
- It is an invented term for something we already had a good enough name for “the change”.
- The fact that you are labeled with it based solely on age rather than on actual physical status
- The attitude that apparently women cannot deal with it without “advice from their medical advisor” regarding every aspect of ytheir life from what they eat to if/when/how they exercise. Excuse me doctor, I’d like to make an appointment with you to discuss taking up yoga. You think?
- It is being confused with actual menopause “event” further muddying the information waters. Just look at the WHI studies. They involved women 10 years past menopause!
- In the media, it is becoming like the 1960’s sexual revolution. If you won’t talk about it, you’re not hip.
