This is so spot on! Going through perimenopause and being one’s one and only case manager overseeing all the docs and treatment options and access is beyond exhausting and makes such a dent on our overall income and quality of life due to the time-consuming challenge it is. If only the world was ran by people with a uterus!!!

Yes! I think that so many people just don’t realise the sheer amount of time and effort involved - on top of actually dealing with the physical and cognitive effects.

Thank you so much for this Justine. You have written the most comprehensive and coherent account of the peri/menopause journey that I have read. I resonate on so many levels with the invisible, unspoken battle of this phase of life and all that it throws up. Thank you for writing this and advocating for something better. Deep bow.
