What’s the best way to cope with peri menopause? The Effin Hormones gang are big fans of connecting with other people who are going through the same thing. Sharing experiences helps you realise that you haven’t made it all up – these symptoms really do exist and other people get them too.

Bringing people together is just what blogger ‘Totes Inappropes’ has done too; with her FaceBook group for peri menopausal women, ‘Totes Merry Peri‘. It’s got over 28 thousand members, who are all more than happy to have a good swear and a joke about it all too at times.

You’ll hear how Totes’ anger and disappointment after a difficult visit to the doctors, and how this ended up in something really positive, that’s helped a LOT of women.

We’re on to the B of our A to Z of peri menopause symptoms, looking at Vitamin B12 deficiency and other topics and you’ll discover why Totes loves ‘wironing’. You’ll have to listen to find out what that is! Please listen, like, follow and review if you can!
