200 years ago, an English doctor published a description of menopause, calling it "the death of the woman in the woman," and we STILL view it as something to be mourned. Other cultures celebrate menopause, and get excited about hot flashes. It's time for women to be valued beyond their ability to bear children.
@Himmiefan4 ай бұрын
Exactly! And we need to get over this mentality that the body is malfunctioning when it goes into menopause. The hormone levels change over time for a reason. Should we mess with that with HRT, or should we emphasize improving diet and exercise? I say diet and exercise. Work with the body and not against it.

As a 55yr menopausal woman, I want to say thank you, Halle for speaking for ALL WOMEN! It's sad that a celebrity has to speak up about menopause in order for women to receive help. ●I started menopause at age 45, the hot flashes, night sweats, severe insomnia. Vaginal dryness started at 50, night sweats stopped after 3yrs, and hot flashes stopped after 8yrs. I'm still experiencing insomnia and vaginal dryness. ●I've been using Luveena vaginal moisture for 3yrs now, twice a week, and it has been a lifesaver! My insomnia has gone from waking up every hour to waking up every 3-4hrs. I know it's hard ladies but it does get better as the years pass.

And please let’s start with PERImenopause! Because I went straight to my doctor and Gyno with it when my body, that I know VERY well, started going “haywire.” My Gyno first said “NO WAY! You’re too young!” I’m like “hello, I know that I look young but maam I’m 45!” I started experiencing perimenopausal symptoms at 42. I had no idea that this was a thing until doing research myself and finding out that it can start in your late 30’s and early 40’s. My GP doctor “who was younger than me” had to get a senior doctor to come speak to me but the only thing they wanted to discuss was vaginal dryness and hot flashes. There are sooooo many more issues that come with these hormonal changes. I asked my mother about it and she had never heard of perimenopause either. And she’s had hot flashes for as long as I can remember. 🤷🏽♀️ Women, we need to talk about it more amongst each other too. I’ve been talking about it to my friends and family who are close to me in age but aren’t quite there yet. They laugh at the thought of it but hey, at least I tried. 🤷🏽♀️ Kudos to Halle for helping to get this ball rolling. 👏🏽

As a woman currently in peri-menopause, I noticed that when I mentioned it, people (even females) would sort of shy away from like I was talking about something dirty or shameful. I would then feel like I said something wrong, so then I would go back to suffering in silence. I know this is not a topic you would want to discuss over the dinner table, but it needs to be talked about as freely as diabetes, heart attacks, depression, etc. It is when a female's hormones get all out of whack and she has all kinds of issues/changes because of it - why is that so embarrassing or seen as taboo? I mean, we are all adults here! I feel like it's officially time we drop the shame, support each other, and do our best to lift each other up because it is definitely a long, rough, and bumpy road.

Menopause is a lot of changes going on with our body. I’m not talking about hot flashes. That’s one thing that doesn’t bother me! I stay cold. Menopause is a big stretch. It’s the aches, it’s the anxiety, it’s the palpitations, it’s the body odor coming out of your pores! Like why wasn’t we told this ??? This shouldn’t be a secret! We should all know! It’s like playing guessing games with my body’s! Literally I feel like I’m tip toeing around my body! Like ok she good today ( I’m smiling) next day I feel like I’ve been ran over by a truck smh! And you can’t talk to anyone about this because it seems not normal! So what do we do…we suffer in silence and make the best of it. I read everything.

I was told by a young female physician’s assistant, that hormone replacement therapy would make me crazy and that I should take antidepressants. I didn’t listen to her, but the ignorance in the medical community of menopausal issues is really frustrating. In the current climate, women need to advocate for themselves because no one else is paying attention. I know Hallie Berry won’t be reading this comment, but I’m very happy that she is calling attention to women’s health issues. We need all the help we can get.

My menopause lead to autoimmune disease because of hormonal imbalances and work stress. Regular medical doctors couldnt help and just prescribed anti-depressants. It took me doing tons of research of functional doctors for me to save myself. I eliminated stress, ate healthy and supplemented. That is what saved my life!

OMG! I am so glad that Halle Berry is speaking out and bringing attention to menopause. Yes, she is correct if effects more than just our bottom half below our belly button. My mother use to say to us girls, if you can make it through menopause and don't lose your mind you have done well. I am 59 years old and going through menopause, but I have been dealing with the symptoms since I was in my early 30's. Doctor said I was two young but I was only having a cycle twice a year, my hormones were unbalanced. Hot flashes, brain fog, lack of concentration, appetite changes, voice changing, dry eyes and mouth and the fatigue is unreal. In my earlier years I would not sweat so I would just black out and come too later sitting in my car in parking lots at stop signs. Now I have night sweats so bad I can hardly rest and mentally feels like someone has opened up the top of my head and pouring water in my brain and I am drowning. Doctor's do not understand, when I try to explain it, the doctor said to me the symptoms sound like bipolar. WTH!!! Give me a break man -it is menopause!

I’m 54 In perimenopause. Symptoms I had - hot flashes, sleep issues,heart palpitations, my cholesterol was high. I eat healthy No alcohol I drink 64oz of water a day I work out lift weights, yoga and meditate. I’ve been on hrt treatment for 5 months and no more hot flashes I could sleep now no heart palpitations I will check cholesterol in a few months for me it’s changed how I feel so I’m benefiting from hrt . There’s nothing natural about those symptoms our mothers and grandmothers suffered needlessly. If someone chooses not to get on hrt that’s ok just know it’s there for you to get rid of the symptoms. And aid in other ways like heart health.

While at work, my mother complained of sudden shortness of breath, which led to her having a panic attack. ER doctor told her what she had was a hot flash. She was diagnosed with menopause and sent home. One year later, she's back in the ER with the same complaint SOB. This time, she was admitted and diagnosed with STAGE 4 lung cancer and died 4 months later. This obviously points out that there are other conditions that can be mistaken for menopause. I pray this bill is passed.

I think a lot of the commenters are missing the point. The point is, women do not have to suffer through menopause. Women NOT getting the care they need through menopause can cause an early death, or an unbelievably unbearable old age. Women, please educate yourselves. You will be doing yourself a grave disservice if you fail to find the right doctor that can guide you, and help you through menopause, and beyond. Halle Berry is beautiful, not doubt, but I guarantee you that she IS getting proper care through her menopause journey. She’s an intelligent woman, she’s not going to settle. I don’t know what’s in the bill, but sounds as though it is legislation to to fund menopause studies, and possibly to help fund services for women that are marginalized, and cannot afford the proper care that they need, and DESERVE!

I don't believe it's just to provide funds to disadvantaged women going through menopause. That would an easier fight-- to allocate more funds for womens health. It's about conducting research for the development of resources to support the needs of ALL women entering this stage in our lives. As she said, it is stigmatized. It shouldn't be. We discuss disease, but we can't discuss or get proper information or care from providers to better manage meno symptoms? That's wild.

What I was always told is, you'll stop having your period, and go through menopause, when your mother did. At her age. So luckily mine stopped at 44. Although I had pre symptoms way before that age, like 38, my period, was awful. I was cranky, and miserable. I had bad hot flashes, too, for years, and still do, but not as bad, only once in awhile. I'm 56, going on 57, in October. I just remember it was awful. I got through it though. Noone, really told me much about it. My mom didn't say much , and either did my doctor. My sisters all had it too, at around the time I did, except one, who went into early menopause because of a hysterectomy. So just ask your mom, what age she was, when she had menopause, and you're likely to go through it then too. Thanks,,beautiful Halle!

This....was after I had to wait 8 months for a gyno appt the whole time thinking I had cancer. Women of all ages need correct, detailed information and time with their physicians.
