Almost nobody is told this is part of it, so women assume it means something about their mental state.

It arrives in a supermarket or at 3am: heart hammering, chest tight, hands tingling, heat rising, and an absolute certainty that something is very wrong.
Read article →When Googling Your Symptoms Has Become the Problem
It is 11pm, you have a new ache, and you have been reading for ninety minutes. You know it is probably nothing.
Read article →"I Can't Take a Full Breath": Air Hunger in Midlife

Three colds in a winter when you used to get one. A cough that hangs on for a month. Cuts that take longer to heal.

You are in your early forties, something has changed, and the response is that you are too young.

A sudden zap — like a rubber band snapping under the skin, or a brief jolt of current across the scalp, down an arm, or through the torso.
Read article →Cold Flashes and Chills in Menopause: The Opposite Problem Nobody Mentions
Everyone is warned about hot flashes. Far fewer women are told that the same thermostat fault can run in the other direction…

Most midlife aches can be watched for a few months. This one should not be.
Read article →Allergies, Histamine and Menopause: Why Reactions Change in Midlife
Hay fever that arrives for the first time at 48. Wine that suddenly causes flushing and a blocked nose. Hives with no obvious cause.
