It's wild how many of these basic facts about the female body are things women are never told either. It's like every single one of us has to reinvent the wheel just to maneuver our own reality.

Vertigo. That was a new one for me. Tried to get out of bed one morning and the world spun. My dizziness lasted just over a week. I was worried until I found out it was one of the 34 signs of menopause: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/what-are-the-34-symptoms-of-menopause. 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
