The Midlife Nurse

There are so many women who suffer extreme symptoms of menopause and one of the most common is memory loss. The thing is, who’s to say this is only temporary? How do we know which women will be affected temporarily by this and progressively improve after the menopause and which women never improve?

Dementia is more prevalent in the over 65’s but also more prevalent in women than men. So the scariest feeling is having such awful memory loss and forgetfulness and not knowing if this will ever improve. It adds to the anxieties felt naturally during peri menopause.

Menopausal symptoms may also be heightened in those who have experienced depression in the past.

So what are my odds 🙄😱

I have no idea so ….. I shall grab life by the golf balls with one hand while holding a margarita in the other hand – and gracefully totter my way through whatever life I have left with whatever sanity I can hitch over my shoulder while I am still able to hitch anything over my shoulder 😊
