Menopause Rhapsody - Bohemian Rhapsody Parody Song for every Queen

Yes, there's now a BOOK, thanks to this song! Get your copy from all major online booksellers - some linked to here: geni.us/colormemenopausal

It's just after midnight here in New Zealand and I've been slogging at this for some time. The harmonies were hard work, and making the video was a nightmare. But it was FUN for me, and I hope it'll be fun for you to watch too.

[@lisafowler6278]

Maybe because not every woman has the same experience with menopause (?) This song is hilarious and I have heard about some really unpleasant side effects from women my age (58) and younger. But listening to this list of horrendous effects of menopause, I don’t think I’ve had even one of them. I feel better than I did in my 30’s. No more migraines, which I’ve always believed were related to estrogen. I have lost a significant amount of weight without really changing anything (always associated fluctuating weight with estrogen, like when I was breastfeeding). No hot flashes, although I have always tended to overheat easily. No extreme dryness of skin, no extra, unwanted hair. Maybe it depends on how estrogen affected you before menopause. My sympathies to women who go through the list of things in this song. And compliments to the singer and whoever wrote the lyrics.

[@TraciDoering-hw8hu]

@@tracysharp1361 Activated charcoal does what dyalysis does. It actually removes molecules smaller than dyalysis. Take several heaping tablespoons per day, mixed in water. It is tasteless and odorless The only thing is to take it away from medications or it will adsorb them, washing them out of the system. I boutht a huge bucket and still have half of it left. Dialysis is a 500 million dollar industry. There have been several human trials, which showed a. c. delayed time to dialysis 9 years. The only reason it stopped at 9 is they stopped the study. In developing nations, this is what they use as they can't afford dialysis, which IS dangerous. Safer is activated charcoal. Even if you are on dialysis, you can take a. c. in between. They will be able to see your kidney values, so you can see how much it is working. If it is not enough, take more. It is absolutely miraculous. The only side effect is that it can constipate at high doses, a much milder and more benign side effect than dangerous dialysis. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

Some of my friends never have lived long enough with any one woman to learn all the nuances of feminine cycles that make your song so funny. Not my case, I lived through the whole process from the other side various times. So, as you were getting near the end the song, I was wondering how you would end it. Not too many options, I thought... But you managed to find the one positive point every one agrees about. I'm happy I clicked on the link and discovered you!

I had hot flashes after the birth of both of my children. I did not know what it was til my own mother told me what it was when I told her my symptoms and had them for awhile after each birth. Dr confirmed. I had no idea that child birth can bring on hot flashes also. When my menopause started at 58 years old I quickly recognized the hot flashes and sweats as it was the same as I had after giving birth
