Hey gang! Thanks Lefty!
welcome welcome!
Took me a hot minute but the server finally let me in. I am beyond excited to see you guys!
I have a lot of hot minutes these days ...
I've been introduced to the fresh hell that is hot flashes on top of having freezing cold feet. So now l have to wear as little on top but with a heavy blanket covering my feet at all time.
Also very confused.
Took me TWO DAYS just to be able to get through to join.
😆 I’m lost.
As soon as I got in, I searched “Menopause”, but need to spend some time exploring.
Learning new things is good for our brain and I get all that but also… 😩 ! (😂)
If you are, then that means so am I. :)
Yay, made it! Had to open up the computer to do it but yay!
Hi Ladies! Took me a bit to figure out how to get on here, but relieved I finally did.
I think their servers might be a bit overloaded as people are joining...but glad you made it!
Yay! I got it working too!
thanks Lefty! I know it's a lot to wrap our heads around new things at times, but what's happening at Reddit is sad. So thanks for creating this space, may it flourish.
Thanks...and welcome! :)
Yeeeeeees! I figured it out! Even managed to subscribe on my own! Thank you, the best admin person in the world, leftylibra for moving us here.
Congrats on figuring out how to subscribe - I’m at a total loss. Please share your secret!❤️
I was using lemmy.ml and menopause sub wasn't on it? SO I guess you have to add lemmy.world
When the accessing the website through your browser, the communities list defaults to your 'local' instance, click the ALL button to see communities from other instances, including lemmy.world. As a side note, lemmy.ml is completely overwhelmed, has disabled new user registration, and is experiencing random outages. This is one of the reasons why we did not include that instance in our list in r/menopause.
Yes you right super slow through lemmy.ml
If you are accessing this site from your desktop browser, the subscribe button is the very top right of the sidebar (big green button that says subscribe). If you are accessing it through the Jerboa app, select the bullet list icon (in the bottom left of the toolbar) and enter "menopause" into the search field. Select menopause from the results and press the big blue subscribe button at the top. Hope this helps!
Hi ladies! So glad we are still getting access to this resource - phew.
So nice to see you guys again!!
Yep!
There’s a new subreddit for peri and menopause. It’s called r/menopausemavens
Yay! Made it! 😀
'Menopause isn't really that bad'...said no woman ever.
For those who are approaching or experiencing 'the change' (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.
Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there's no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.
Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!
RULES
1. All genders can post We are all here to learn about menopause and how to help anyone experiencing menopause, so be supportive and respectful.
2. Don't be a bully, creep, jerk or troll This means no personal attacks, no misogyny, no misandry, ageism, racism, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.
3. Read the Wiki and use the search tool before posting a new question
4. No selling products or services You can recommend products/methods that work for you, but soliciting clients or patients is not allowed. No advertising or self-promotions, including using this sub to drive traffic elsewhere.
5. Research surveys/studies are allowed ONLY after contacting the mods with details of the survey (purpose of survey, academic associations, how will the data be used, privacy/confidentiality policy) Mods will determine whether to approve the post or not. Those choosing to participate in surveys, must do so at their own risk.
6. No posting lab results We are not a substitute for medical advice. Questions about your lab results should be directed to your medical professional. Hormonal tests are not an accurate diagnosing tool for perimenopause.
