What is menopause?

Welcome to my first post!

What is menopause? My name is Natalie and It is my hope that this blog will help women learn a little about menopause. I have always admired how Oprah and others have kept a Journal of their life course. What a bright idea! Keeping a journal of my experience of going through menopause has proven to be very therapeutic for me, it’s given me a voice to share with other women, women, who may have thought they were suffering alone! With no-one to really understand what they were going through, and how this change of life THING! Has made them feel inside. This blog will contain my own personal experiences and feelings of dealing with menopause. 

“Menopause”~ Most would define this term as the change of life or a time when a women’s monthly cycle starts to come to an end, and when some women are hormonally WACKY!  This happens usually when a women is in her mid 40’s or 50’s, although like me! Many women can start a whole lot earlier than that! For many women, menopause is a whole lot more than a period coming to an end! I’d like to give you all my own personal definition.

“Menopause”~ A constant talking yourself down from the ledge. (Nj’s definition :0) As I share my posts, you will begin to understand why I have chosen this as my own personal definition.

PLEASE NOTE! I am not a doctor or a medical care Professional, so PLEASE! Understand that anything said here is based on my own personal opinion. If you feel that you need to seek professional help, Please don’t hesitate to do so. Hopefully, this will be a place for you to be able to identify with what you are going through, what menopause is, and to share some of your own stories with others as we go through this journey together. I truly believe there is strength in numbers!

I look forward to sharing my journal entries with you.
