Yes, menopause is challenging, but all the physical symptoms are manageable even the vaginal dryness low libido and menopausal weight gain . We still have so much life to live and make a meaningful contribution to ourselves, our causes and our community.

Jay, this interview was valuable. You are an amazing interviewer and this Ivy an incredible conversationalist and activist. I am blown away by both of you. My wife is a Black woman so I have a head start at managing her traumas but this will help that much more when that time comes from her. I had no idea a woman goes through all of that, the graphic details of it. Thanks for what you do. It's amazing.

My perspective is totally different. I couldn’t wait to go through menopause. I bled so very heavy from the age 13 every single month(except during my birth control pills era) that a few night sweats was a breeze. I know females who used medication. But, I celebrated it and started to wear white clothing. Now, vaginal dryness is real and a low sex drive is real. But, no pain, no embarrassments, no event cancellations was a welcome to me. As far as children, I was never pregnant and sometimes I regret it. But not really. I have a full life and have done things and gone places (like traveling with Jay) that I would’ve never experienced if I were still paying student loans and now educating grandchildren. Sounds selfish but it is what it is.

Great topic! But I would say that not all women 45 plus whose menses has stopped go through symptoms associated with pre-menopause and menopause. In my case, the only thing I experienced was cessation of my menses. Other than that, life just continues as usual.

Quite possible there is an association between the onset of menopausal symptoms & the C vaccine, since knowledge about orthodox medicine is never absolute. However, it is not uncommon for anyone to have one or a few symptoms of a brief flu-like illness eg a fever or bouts of that, profuse sweating, joint/bodily pain, headache, malaise, etc after most vaccine shots. So, best to keep an open mind about a causal relationship or some association …
@kelugu3776Күн бұрын
She failed to take account of the fact that she's lived most of her life in a highly industrialised country with polluted air, food and water. Isn't that a more rational explanation for starting menopause earlier than her Ghanaian relatives? When all things are equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one.
