Hi! I can’t believe I found all of this resources. I am soon to be 42 and I “dried out” so much this year plus as you said something seems off to me. I was thinking maybe it’s pre menopause but I am only 41. Thank you so much for such a big work. I’m saving this and plan to read and learn how to deal with my symptoms because “nice lingerie” doesn’t help either.
I am so happy to read this comment- thank you for sharing a bit of your experience! The hormonal shifting can make us feel all sorts of crazy and off- you are not alone, and fortunately, there is a lot of good information out there that can help us through the journey. I hope it's all helpful!
I honestly feel obligated (in the best of ways) to report on all I have learned- there are so many women suffering needlessly and still in the dark about so much it. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Amazing. Thank you. I’ll be sharing this far and wide. My friends and I are all around 50 and this is what we are all talking about, and so grateful that we aren’t going through it alone.
Excellent- grateful to you for sharing! I want this to reach as many women as possible, and honestly, one of my primary drivers in all of my writing is to communicate exactly what you express here- that we are not going through any of this alone!
From what I’ve read, experienced, and heard from friends, we all have different symptoms, needs and timing. So I think it’s important that we do our own research. This cheat sheet is a wonderful resource. I’m already listening to one of the podcasts and plan to buy some of the books you recommended. Thank you!
Amazing, Nipa- I'm so happy to hear! And yes, it is so different for everyone- some women sail right through, and others have it much harder. I just want to help make it a bit easier for women to access the information so they can feel empowered to get the care they need and deserve!
Great piece Dina. Lots of great resources and information to take advantage of and I will certainly save this one. Appreciate the work on putting this together.
Thanks so much, Christine, and excellent point! SO important that we stick together and continue to shout out loud...!

Wow. You are so incredibly generous with information, resources, time. And honestly. Thank you for doing this work for all of us!

Well done, Dina. The only fact I would add is that 100% of us go through menopause*; all the more reason it's essential to stick together! xx
(*unless ovaries were removed before puberty)
I love this post! So glad I found your account.
Thanks so much- happy you are here!
I'd also like to recommend listening to Simon Hill's podcast "The Proof." He interviewed an excellent doctor named Susan Davis.
Thanks so much for the recommendation, Mary- I will definitely check out!

Thank you!!! This is so helpful, Dina.
That makes me so happy to hear- thank you so much!

Thank you so much- a definite labor of love! If I can help even just one woman, it will have been worth it!
Thanks for sharing this excellent resource!
