I'm itchy just reading this! Why don't women talk about menopause more?! We all should know what's in store. Thank you for writing this.

You’re not alone in the weird, random symptoms. I get hives on my upper arms and chest. Also my face gets bright red. Benadryl helps the red but knocks me on my ass so I’m pale skinned and asleep at my desk after taking it. More women need to discuss menopause and how it really afflicts us!

Thank you for sharing Cate! I wish more of us did, so we don't have to feel alone and weird.

The only people who seem to understand are my college roommates because we are all going through various stages and we talk openly about it in group chats and in person.
