True, gotta think ahead

I understand the shoes, but why do you have to take your bra off in a hurricane? (Though also who is wearing a bra in bed?) Confused

whole separate argument here, but ‘internment’ and ‘camps from which refugees are allowed out’ are not the same thing

glad to hear you're now getting better care!

funny you should mention that - I've just been reading about how margaret thatcher stayed on the Pill into her 60s because nobody told her to come off it and thus presumably never noticed being menopausal in office because she was continuing to receive hormones (100% not recommended medically btw)

oh gosh! good job you got tested, hope you're feeing better now

you are all saving me from myself here.

good to know!

i do like Sliced Bread, it's the sort of programme the BBC was born to make

also i have to ask - muslin blanket? Do you mean like the ones you have for babies so they're not sick on your shoulder?

that is really rubbish, i'm sorry (especially the vertigo)

v interesting - theory has it that the alternative menopause remedies market really took off during that HRT scare period - the damage of the Pill safety scares was really evident immediately (unwanted pregnancies) but this one maybe taken a lot longer to unravel

i've just googled and found a brand called Sassy Ladycare and i just cannot

Had never heard of that before I googled it! I think a lot of us are torn between falling for something silly but not being offered much that’s sensible, so what do you do…

Blimey, that’s a lot of money for a hairbrush. So tough though dealing with hair loss x

Whoa I thought there were liver effects associated with black cohosh?

You’re right it is a total barrage

I’m sorry about that - plenty of bad healthcare experiences here in the UK but I guess we should consider ourselves lucky we don’t get billed $180 for them

It’s really telling that you say it was great to be heard and tested - that is exactly what you would hope the NHS would do but so many women seem to find the opposite
