IP professional Jane has written a series of diary entries about her menopause journey, which are loosely based on her journalling.
In Part 1 she describes the pre-diagnosis symptoms she experienced, including brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, crying, night sweats, and above all the confusion and uncertainty about what was happening to her.
In Part 2 she describes getting a diagnosis from a gynaecologist, who prescribed HRT.
In Part 3 she describes her experience following starting HRT. She describes improvements in her symptoms in the following weeks and months, as well as adjusting the HRT dose to maintain the effect.
