The fact you both share so honestly the realities of life help me so much I just simply adore you both
Nadia thank you I’ve now been given HRT god bless you ..I was refused and given fluoxetine over 6 weeks ago ..I can only have them for 4 weeks then after I’ve had my blood pressure my doctor will review me I can’t say my doctor was happy about giving me the HRT .with your help I was been able to explain I’ve made a happy start 💕💕💕 Thank you Nadia
People talk about the menopause in terms of couple relationships but for me, menopause effected me in a huge way when my mother went through it. Family life was hard anyway but when my mum went through the menopause it affected the whole family in a really bad way. We didn’t know about menopause back then and had no idea that was the reason for her horrible mood swings. I remember days when she would wake up in a very happy mood and by the end of the day she was absolutely raging and having huge arguments with my Dad, I always knew that when she woke up happy it was a ticking time bomb as to how long that would last. Like I say, we didn’t know this was the menopause for a few years and so it was a horrible time for my mum foremost but the rest of the family too. My mum eventually went onto HRT which saved her and changed her life for the better. The wounds and scars of her menopause are still in my memory but I am so happy that she found a doctor who really helped her.
Nadia, that was spot on when you said about the "rumble" of hormones beneath the service. It's like your body is a volcano which bubbles and erupts and spews forth these great waves every month, and then..... one day ... it is dormant. Spent. (Or, that's how it feels.)The life force has gone. HRT can be the spark that sets you on fire again (in all of the good ways).
Looking forward to this, I found Nadia’s first talk very enlightening. Thank you. XX
Another really interesting discussion on a highly emotive subject. You're right, education is the key, this affects the whole family. My daughters said they never knew which way I was going to jump in any interaction, lots of walking on eggshells.
I never really even knew about HRT, just not on my radar, menopause was something you just had to accept and get on with.
It really is unacceptable and sad that in this day and age something so relevant to the whole of society is dismissed and ridiculed as ' just your hormones' and a bit of a joke to some.
This is confusing to me. I don't quite understand what you said about a "hormone deficiency". Surely, there can't be a mistake in nature? Isn't it just natural for estrogen to lessen after menopause, while vitamin deficiencies are not natural, if we follow the rules of nature? I once heard that in Asia women don't have the Western symptoms of menopause because of their lifestyle/diets. So maybe our lifestyle is just off? Don't children have less estrogen (i.e. estrogen deficiencies)?
I see the point your making, but it really isn't as straight forward as you think. These are medical facts, its shifting levels that tip the balance.
This is so helpful, and about time that finally there seems to be a Menopause Movement going on, for too long there’s been a societal silence around women’s hormones or menopause. Thankfully women like yourself Nadia are courageously speaking out and to have men openly talking about it too is just as important, so I think you’re both amazing for doing this. You may be interested to know that some big employers are starting to offer menopause support to their staff which I think shows a shift forwards in awareness about it. I work on a helpline and menopause is one of the biggest issues I listen to daily, it’s lonely & scary out there for many women going through it
I live in fear, the massive mood swings, the darkest days, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, night sweats. My life is herrendous!! I feel men really don't get how absolutely life shattering this can be, just getting to my workplace and trying to remain professional is a massive battle😔Please never under estimate how terrifying this can be. Please keep talking, at this moment you are a life line. Thankyou🙏🏼💕💕
@@markhowards420 absolutely right Mark, its horrendous for anyone's partner to deal with, i am completely guilty of being completely irrational and pretty vile. I 100% have simpathy for you. This has hit me like a train, It all needs to be flagged up and both sides needed equal support. I truly hope things in your life are in a better place💟
@@markhowards420 Bless you Mark, i no how up against it you are, its so sad as i bet at some points you dont recognises your wife, fingers crossed it will improve, shes still there Mark, and will love you just the same. well done for speaking out and i wish both the very best.💟
Growing up, I can't ever remember the menopause being mentioned. Periods were briefly mentioned at school, but nothing about menopause. Family members didn't talk about it, but some must have been going through it. It seems so strange thinking about it now, and I hope to educate my own children, so they will be aware of it, because I will go through it at some point. It's pretty scary without the knowledge, and it's great that you're talking about it. Why has it been shrouded in secrecy for so long?! X
Thank you so much for another informative video.I have decided to speak to my GP, something I wouldn’t of done if it wasn’t for you.So many women suffer in silence, my mother did for years and I grew up seeing her suffer as no one understood back then Thank you again Nadia.and Mark 🥰😘x
This is really educational for someone who's Mum was forced into menopause after having a hysterectomy back when I was 10 years old; and I'm now pregnant with my first child, truly feeling my hormones and the impact it has on me & my husband but also learning from your experiences and hearing the way you talk to your daughters about their hormones - I feel will really help me in the future, thank you. Xxx
I have had my first pump of HRT this morning and I wouldn't of asked for it had I not seen your video's and Dr Louise. I can't thank you enough, the practice nurse I saw was totally up to speed with the new, correct information and Is as frustrated as all of us about the care or lack of we have all had. XXX
Mark described me in the perimenopause bit!
I'm 39 and I know things have been changing subtley for a couple of years.
I'm waiting to see if it's been lockdown that's effected me more but things are def on the turn ha ha.. Great chat! X
Not only do we need to teach men all about the menses and hormonal imbalances, but women of all ages 11+ need to be educated on HOW TO MANAGE our physical and mental health with all types of remedies (Eastern and Western HRT), proper nutrition, and appropriate physical/mindful exercises. The more stress one has in their lives, the more affected hormonally imbalanced a women can be, which affects her overall health and immunity. At the end of the day, women can't keep "blaming" it all on the ailment either, without doing our best to keep our health in check. Still there is NO guarantee that good upkeep will stave off the worst PMS and menopausal symptoms.
I'm a Gen Xer, raised by a Spartan mom, and I got very little pass from society for the darkest days I had during my periods--Debilitated and unproductive, passed out from so much blood loss/anemia. My daughter is way better off in this era, and I hope it will continue to open up for all men and women. 🙏🏽
I love YOU, Mark! My bromance is always alive with you, amigo. This is so poignant, this discussion. It's like a meeting of the sexes, and it's a beautiful thing. HRT really has helped SO much. My wife has energy again, and she can function, which is so uplifting. Menopause did spur me to try and research anything and everything I could. Mostly because I was afraid of pissing her off. She's a tiny little thing, but she's like a Yorkshire heatseeking missle when she's angry and it had a radar for my Tex-Mex backside. LOL Thank you for this guys, truly. This is SUCH a meaningful and needed discussion everyone should have with their partner. We can't learn without understanding. And this helps so much.
I changed from a bubbly person to an anxious, tired all the time and emotional wreck x
I’ve watched Louise the menopause doctor 👩⚕️ and I’ve called my own doctor and I’m waiting for my prescription of HRT, all because of you telling your story, I thought I was going mad and am so upset all of the time, that’s for being so honest, love you both, thanks so much xxxxx
Oh I’m so pleased I hope you get the support you deserve . Do lots of research !
I absolutely love this! I entered surgical menopause (full hysterectomy )2 years ago at age 38 and my husband has been incredible. He’s been so supportive and even though he might not understand entirely what’s happening, he is constantly by my side. What with having anxiety and having had previous health issues it is so hard to remember why I’m feeling off sometimes. It’s not easy, but I’m starting to embrace life for all it’s glory! I’m not the same woman as I once was, but that’s okay! I have wisdom and a wonderful estrogen patch to keep me in check! 👍You’re not alone ladies! I promise! ♥️ Nadia always raises these important topics, and Mark is a wonderful example of what it is to be a loyal and loving husband!
It can be just as bad knowing it’s your hormones, as not realising it’s your hormones. You know it’s happening but you can’t stop it because you’re not in control of it. So frustrating xx
Just to say thank you for doing this my hubbie and me watched it and we watched Davinas program too. I have spoken with my dr and I have been prescribed the patch. Thank you Nadia and Mark I will start taking it on Friday so we will see but so glad you did this talk you are both so helpful and caring
You both always talk about such important topics - I’m so grateful
Fab video really interesting thank you so much guys.
Well Done you both are amazing! X
Thank you lovelies. I think if we can start to have the same awareness, compassion and support for menopause as we have been developing for mental health issues and addiction then we'll be getting somewhere. Highly recommend the book Code Red by Lisa Lister, for women and male partners. BTW Giving menstrual blood back to the earth is a lost ancient, sacred practice that used to be the norm for thousands of years but has been shamed and been made disgusting relatively recently by patriarchal programming.
Another great chat Nadia and Mark. I keep putting it off phoning my GP, phoning her tomorrow. I was listening to the chat between Dr. Louise Newson and Trinny, Dr. Louise mentioned lack of estrogen can cause tinnitus, something I have been suffering with for a few months, aswell as exhaustion. I really need to stop putting it off and talk to my GP. Thank you again xx
Frightening really, if we continue to not talk about the menopause openly, - more depression, more antidepressants, more negativity, confusion and unhappiness. Great honest discussion we can relate to, finally you don’t feel like you’re all alone!👏🏽👏🏽 xx
Great to hear this! Im in my perimenopause and I totally get what Mark is saying plus Nadiya. You get more info on how to neuter your cat than on the menopause!!
Yep-I contacted one of the menopause specialist GP’s working with Dr Louise Newsam and I had my consultation within 2 days. Changed my HRT to 2 different preparations. Hoping for some sleep, less anxiety, fear and being much less irritable and exhausted!🙏🏼🤞🏼😘
Oh my goodness I’m praying for you too x
I had a late baby when I was 43 and suffered a life threatening haemorrhage so had an emergency hysterectomy and was never told by any health professionals that I would be thrown into a huge hormonal mix up, never knew if I was menopausal or going through PTS syndrome due to the shock of what had happened, I’m 63 now but still feel confused about what happened to me, I’m now a nervous wreck and don’t want my 3 girls to suffer, thank you for these chats as I feel better informed to help my girls now, but why the hell wasn’t I offered HRT.
Thank you so so much for the mention tonight 💗 I will be having a chat with my doctor im so sorry I left it this late may to go on hrt I have a prolapse and may be this would not have happened to me awaiting a to have operation but due to covd I may be waiting a while to have prolapse done but will discuss hrt with my doctor again can't thank you enough 🥰😘
Could listen to you guys all day.. thanks for making these 🥰
I read Kayes book Still Hot and it was really helpful as was the advice given to me be several of my fellow subs, so thanks guys!
I'm now drinking decaff tea and that's reduced my flushes and I'm using the Balance app which is SO much better than the one I WAS using. I don't get the rages as I've been on anti depressants for years.
It's such am important health topic that still seems to be taboo and it's started a conversation with my husband - he calls it my MANNY PAUSE! XX
My hubbie and me watched this last night and I am going to speak to my Dr I am 55 and I have been on the mini pill for the last 3 years so haven’t had a period but all the symptoms like anxiety and brain fog have definitely affected me also the way I am with my hubbie sometimes and I feel bad thank you guys this was amazing I will go on the menopause website first also I will be finishing the pill this week they won’t be giving me anymore now you are both so kind to do these vlogs and I appreciate it so much x
It's like finding a magic penny, isn't it. Oh, that's all I have to do, and all this goes away? I can't believe it. I agree, if this had been a men's problem, it would have been sorted quick fast. Thanks for the chat.
The loss of yourself is a real thing. What is me and what is the condition?
Loose women have pioneered this discussion for real.
Love you x
Well said! xx
I had a hysterectomy when I was 53 and I had suffered for 10 years with exhausting and painful periods , after the op went straight into the menopause and realised what hot flushes were - luckily I don’t have them very often now - I don’t take HRT , although was given tablets by my surgeon- threw them away, but after your confession on a Sunday morning chat , I would like to try HRT because it is now derived from Yam
Mark - Nanny Di was ahead in the feeding of plants with blood - I know I suggested blood, fish and bone for feeding potatoes.... just make sure it’s out of a packet 😊😆😂- Great story
Thank you Nadia for bringing to my attention about The Menopause Doctor and how much HRT has changed
I do suffer from lethargy and really sleep very poorly often waking up 3or 4 times a night, then feel unrefreshed the next day
I really have a fantastic Doctor, but haven’t had the chance to speak to him as he’s such a long waiting list ( cos he’s one in a million) better catch him before I move
Thank you both ❤️xx
Awww I hope you get the support Angela . Sending love x
@@sawalhaadderleys Thank you both - much appreciated xx
I remember during my teen years, my mother became extremely irritable, especially with my Dad, one time she called his name and because he was engrossed in his Tv show and didn’t answer her, she smashed it with a hammer, these kinds of incidents were common during my mother’s menopause years, the rage was off the scale.
In turn this has made me very conscious of my hormones and tracking them to see any changes, my biggest fear is becoming that woman full of rage.
I had to see a breast surgeon recently and she takes hrt and has no fears about it xx
Another AMAZING chat about HRT, thank you for enlightening us.
Great pod cast! All of this stuff needs to be common knowledge. Women and men need to not fall into the trap of "it's just your hormones." It's never "just" anything. The fact that your hormones are going crazy is a serious medical condition. It's an awful feeling to be living with. I felt like I was going mad when I went through puberty. Then menopause hit and the madness returned. These weren't brief episodes. They were years long struggles of feeling mad several times a month. Times when I wanted to hurt myself and times when I did hurt myself. It's an awful feeling. People write it off and tell you to "buck up buttercup". Or older people tell you too bad. Get on with it. I've never used it as an excuse but man....it was mentally and physically draining.
I'm 30 so not even thinking about menopause, but in listening to this I am wondering if something is off with my hormones. I took the pill for a year almost a decade ago, and it changed me as a person entirely. I have never felt right since then, and I have all the symptoms you are talking about from menopause. I have tried getting to the bottom of it for years, but doctors keep telling me I'm healthy and to go away. Maybe I should get my hormones checked.
This has help me decide to go back on HRT , thank you 🙏
Great informative chat and needed x thank you
Thank yous both so much for your chats on hrt, my man listened too and was laughing at everything yous said as that has been me and only getting worse. I'm trying to get hrt patches as that what Dr Louise newson suggested for me as i have a blood disorder that causes clots but my gp is not really up forg giving me them and offered antidepressants! I will not stop fighting for it. Thank you so much i feel i have something to fight for xx ❤
Love this discussion. ❤️❤️
Thank you Nadia for being so caring , I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed a complete hysterectomy and a double mastectomy and reconstruction in four years one after the other so my hormones or lack there off were all over the place ,on synthroid now helps a bit not sure HRT would help me now it’s been a roller coaster but like mark my husband stood by me through all of it we are lucky we have men who really love us xxxxxxx
Thank you Nadia and Mark 💕💕
Thank you both so much this helps me so much 😘xxx
Mark 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the going into space analogy ❤️
Just to say, Homeopathic medicine is wonderful for women of all ages going through hormonal changes. I appreciate that some women prefer to use HRT and other conventional drugs but a natural, holistic approach with homeopathy is very effective ( I say this from professional and personal experience) xx
Could this be where you and Nanny Di are going wrong with Green Fingered Hell? You need some menstrual blood in those acers and they'll soon be flourishing!!! 🤣😂🤣
I am having a terrible time I really want to take h r t anxiety ,depression, dizzy spells ,nausea ,menopause fog, I have lost myself 😢 last period 2018 had a medical bloods are good blood pressure good my doctor said dizzy spells, hot 🥵 flushes and the over symptoms are very common with the menopause. I never thought menopause did so much to your body my Nan had breast cancer I am worried to take it
Amen to all of that! I've been on hrt gels for 3 years now and they have given me my life back. I would just flag though Nads that if you are on testosterone gel too, just watch the dose bcz I found too much(for me)did cause me to be angrier lol! So I cut down to 3 pea-size dots per wk instead of 7. Also watch your hair shedding more too.
You guys are like my UA-cam parents
Does anyone know if the podcast (chat about HRT) is only available to members?
Been feeling like I’m dying for years due to early Peri meno’s.
erm no - its here on the channel x
I am taking hrt and my doctor kept trying to palm me off with anti dreppressants ! Was a long haul to get them, because I was having hot flushes he said the anti depressants would help !!
I've tried to get my husband to read or watch something about the perri menopause but he dismisses it saying he knows what's going on with me 🤦♀️ xx
❤
You are one of the best families on you tube ... love u guys xx💖💖💖💖
I think we need a Nanny Di stories segment in the Sunday Show...she sounds like she has a few good tales to tell!! 😄😄
You guys are fantastic to talk about what to some could be such a sensitive subject. I too was told it’s very unlikely that I was peri menopause. I was told I should ‘just have the coil fitted And that will solve all the symptoms you are suffering with!’
Whaaaaattttt
@@sawalhaadderleys yes I was told it would correct the in-balance of hormones within in me.
CEASER YOUR 😎
Mark my ex actually did that walked out after 22yrs x
Oh sweetie . IM so sorry xxx
Watching this late at night how like to meet up soon
