When I was around 20 years old and a virgin, my aunt told me if I didn't use it my vagina would dry up and blow away. What she didn't tell me was that it was going to do that anyway.
As a man with no thyroid, who passes out from the heat if someone on the next desk has a cup of hot coffee, can have the keys to the file room in his hand , but still have lost them by the time he gets there, has had recurring depression for thirty years, and has to get up three times per night to use the bathroom, let me say, that I know I still don't know how bad the menopause is.
I have an underactive thyroid, and experience all of the things you have mentioned. I'm also in my mid 40's, so I've never been sure if I was possibly peri-menopausal or something else. Now that I have read your comment, I'm starting to think that it's probably been my thyroid issues, and I'm yet to even start menopause yet. Oh boy, I have a lot to look forward to, it seems. 😯😥😂
@@peachyb1969 My weirdest side effect, hopefully gone now as it hasn't happened for a while (touch wood) was feeling really hungry and bloatedly full at the same time. That's just downright peculiar. I've got other health problems but they've all seemed to get worse in recent years, I thought it was just age. But my consultant said that not having the level of thyroxin medication right causes all sorts of problems. It's a right hassle. I hope they get your levels sorted out quickly and that the menopause is a lot easier than what you've gone through already.
@@gilgameshofuruk4060 Oh not having the right amount of thyroxin medication can royally screw you up, I know from experience. My late mother suffered from Graves Disease and had an overactive thyroid (something I sadly inherited from her and am currently dealing with) she suffered from all the worst symptoms of the condition, including thyroid eye disease. She eventually had her thyroid removed but the aftercare treatment she had was awful as they didn't give her enough thyroxin medication. She ended up developing psychotic symptoms because of not having enough thyroid hormone (since her actual thyroid was now gone and the medication they gave her wasn't enough) she ended up being sectioned 3 times because of it. The last one happened when I was like 6 years old (she'd developed the thyroid problems in her teens and was basically still dealing with it right into her 20's) and I still remember it, she didn't fully breakdown in front of me but it was pretty scary.

I love after Ruby Wax does the demonstration with the hand fan you can see Mo Gaffney (Bo) behind her for just a second creasing up with laughter... I bet it took a lot of takes to do this scene without all of them falling over laughing unable to keep a straight face.
I think that she's actually cringing, having a horrified thought about the clitorectomy. It looks more like a horrified look than a laugh to me, anyways. But I'm sure the out takes and bloopers from behind the scenes of this show were bloody hilarious.

@The mysterious Miss X Jennifer Saunders the creator and writer and plays Edina I don’t recall saying everything is about fashion did I snarky I just said I like the suit what’s it to you??? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I'm glad she wasn't in too much of the show. No doubt good writer, but raucous, crude and overbearing. Here she is quite funny, but more of Ruby would have been less of the rest. Loved this show totally.
@@trumpetshitShe actually appears in another episode where she plays a model scout for a fashion magazine in New York. Her character was called Candy 🍬🍭 and she worked with Pasty and her boss Magda and a guy named Sante who Magda thought called Santa 🎅LOL! She reported to Magda that Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were managing to keep their weight low but that the new models thought make themselves sick 🤢. I'm guessing it was a joke but I thought Candy 🍬🍭 was being irresponsible by encouraging models to be anorexic or bulimic.
Im 42. When I was a kid it felt like Ruby Wax was the only American on tv. I didn't get her. But now I'm older, and I've read her books. I get her. She's f**king hilarious 😂😂😂
I was of an age to watch and absolutely love ab fab the first time around. But now I'm 2 months away from being medically described as menopausal........... I get this way more! Peri menopause isn't much fun either. I vaguely remember the whole episode and remember the fuss over bin bags on the sofa/everywhere in case of peeing.😂
@@pizzalover885 facial recognition . Its no different than looking in a mirror and seeing the biggest asshole of the western world looking back at me. 😒
Love AB FAB, and glad they showcased this. Sure people's bodies change, but all you hear about on TV is menopause... menopause....Every other day is, I have menopause, my cat has menopause, my goldfish has menopause, my unconceived child has menopause!
Love how Patsy isn't too bothered during the meeting whilst Edina seems absolutely traumatised
Patsy was thru all of that 20 years prior
Pats was always well-medicated.
Wasn’t Patsy born male?

Ruby Wax making a cameo is lovely since she does help Jen write the show.
Love Ruby Wax, she's one of the funniest entertaining UK writers and comedians ever. All these women in this show are so talented.
No she didn’t, please research before spreading misinformation. Ruby didn’t write anything on this show

@@jetnight88 Amelia Pond is too young for the menopause (Dr Who)
Libby Rees but still 🤢 I’m with Eddie. omg peeing when sneezing
Right. I definitely need to stop telling my coworkers about my menopause, because there were bits of that which were just a smidge too familiar.
Heheh excellent!! Me too.x
maryavatar omg 🤢 god help me
Knock on wood and I am 53 and I haven't experienced it yet
Are you telling me these here are actually similar to what menopause really is? Ill be 40 in march. Gaw i dont wanna face this shit!!
Agreed…….how many times have I opened a window with a smile saying ‘woman of a certain age here……😬’
"Pasty Stone, I hope your wearing THICK PANTS!!!" ..... Best line period
Not much period there anymore....

Hilarious, cause it's true! lol
Why do stupid people repeat a joke everyone just heard?
Eeewww.....
Lol
Who is the actress with this line? She is amazing.
This scene (as well as the ENTIRE SERIES) is absolutely *class* 😂
Clitarectomy with a hand fan 😂 Way to go Ruby and Jen and love Jens suit
My friends cousin had an over abundance of pubic hair and was trimming it with some scissors. Yeah, she cut her clit. Makes you want to clench up.

Ruby wax looking like Miriam Margoyles spliced with Susan Boyle.
Patsy is my spirit animal
Beth De Woody should have made more appearances. Funny character
The unbelievable ABFAB ; ahead of it's time, because it's timeless. Children, this comedy.
The Beth character reminds me of Cheri Oteri's pill popping character from SNL. Lmao. Hilarious!

Funny how Catriona in this scene is like a total stranger to Eddie and Patsy
They don't pay much attention to Bo either who they know.
I love the Ruby Wax cameo. She actually helps Jen write on occasion.
The look on Eddy's face has me cracking up

Anybody else think Beth DeWoody might be closely related to Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show????
She was in "Shock Treatment."
Nope.
Love Patsy and Adina, Ruby Wax is always so funny in whatever she does👍
“BETH. D’WOODY!”
The greatest thing about this sketch is that it’s a teaming of both British and American comedic actresses.

How did I miss this!!! It will be my guide to denial.
Two of the funniest women of all time. Outrageous! In all the best ways. "Stand on a bin bag," !
