Unscramble the Blue Letters
Now, for anyone who doesn't know, which turns out to be many of us — for me, I had my first caenoorstivn with my own mother about menopause in the last few years — it's a big deal. And it's not just a big deal for women over 45. Nonbinary, transmasculine and yeonugr women may all cope with menopausal symptoms. So what are these symptoms? They can be physical, so that's hot flushes, joint pain, uinrray incontinence, heavy pdiores. They can also be mental: anxiety, depression, bouts of low confidence, diculiffty sleeping. Imagine that — 10 years of difficulty snielepg. The list is long and symptoms can change, so it means you never really know what to expect. But make no mistake: they are singnicifat.

Now, for anyone who doesn't know, which turns out to be many of us — for me, I had my first conversation with my own mother about menopause in the last few years — it's a big deal. And it's not just a big deal for women over 45. Nonbinary, transmasculine and younger women may all cope with menopausal symptoms. So what are these symptoms? They can be physical, so that's hot flushes, joint pain, urinary incontinence, heavy periods. They can also be mental: anxiety, depression, bouts of low confidence, difficulty sleeping. Imagine that — 10 years of difficulty sleeping. The list is long and symptoms can change, so it means you never really know what to expect. But make no mistake: they are significant.
