As a medical profession we have done a really really bad job of managing #perimenopause and #menopause. It's shameful really, especially when there IS help.

Learning that I am not actually losing my mind but that brain fog is a part of perimenopause was actually helpful.

And as I had a partial hysterectomy, even more mysterious....lol
