    Damn thank you for sharing that. I can’t believe how little we all know about menopause considering almost half of humanity will eventually go through it!

      As far as I know, it’s also barely taught in medical school. So doctor’s aren’t even that educated about it. Luckily there are more and more female doctors that are pushing for more education about perimenopause/menopause. If your interested, I highly recommend reading The Menopause Brain by Dr. Lisa Mosconi. She’s a neurosurgeon who is currently researching the effects of menopause on the brain and also Alzheimer’s. It’s a very informative read. :-)
