Menopause

'Menopause isn't really that bad'...said no woman ever.

For those who are approaching or experiencing 'the change' (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.

Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there's no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.

Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!

Is this another example of the peri gift that keeps giving?

Not sure if I’m after advice or support or just having a rant or all of the above!

I live in a freestanding house that is driveway width from my neighbour’s house. I can smell cigarette smoke wafting into my house frequently (at least 10x a day) throughout the day and night even when all my doors and windows are closed.

I’ve had smoking neighbours before but have never noticed the smoke. Could it just be that this neighbour smokes a particularly pungent brand or am I now super sensitive to it?

I know I’m going to have to find a way to deal with this, like sealing windows and doors, maybe getting some fans. But I’m still trying to get on top of the mess from a couple of years of debilitating symptoms and this is just one more farking thing.

I suppose it could be! Wish he was more of a cookie baker or fragrant flower gardener!
