About

Welcome to Menopause the Blog, where you can find news, information, research updates and expert medical opinions about Menopause and the associated health issues that women in their middle years experience.

 

With so much of our population experiencing the same Menopausal symptoms (according to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 20 percent of all women in the U.S. are of menopausal age) you’d think there would be tons of information, and even consistent guidance from medical professionals. But in the end, we are unique individuals and the solutions we seek are up to us to find. So, in my desire to share information and new found wisdom, I’ve started this blog and hope it will be the beginning of a community of women who want to help each other, no matter where you live in the world.

 

What can you expect? Interviews with, and contributed posts by experts; suggestions for books and links to noteworthy articles; recommendations for health products that have brought relief of menopausal symptoms to me, or others; and finally, an exchange of personal experiences, suggestions and support.

Of course, the information and opinions posted here (by me or this site’s visitors and guest-bloggers) should not take the place of guidance from your own physician or other medical professional.

Whether you’re a “40-something” woman, just beginning to experience changes in your body that only you notice, but can’t explain; a sleep-deprived “50-something” in full-fledged menopause; or someone who has made it to the finish line, I hope you’ll visit often and contribute in ways that can benefit others.
