Have you had to buy your HRT on the black market? Do you live in London? I'd like to talk to you about your experience, as we give this focus on @BBCRadioLondon tomorrow (Wednesda) #menopause #HRT #JournoRequest

Have you had to swap with a friend to get more HRT? Have you had to buy HRT online at a much higher cost #HRT #Menopause

What a thread. Have you given much thought to car culture? Food for though.
Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought. Like, no part of it.
What a miserable life to have to lead.
There's a lot of politicians round my way who are angry about cycle lanes, I get that. Most are decent people. But it comes to something when one of the most vocal activists starts yelling at children who are on a cycle ride. Words fail. Have a look.

It's the honking of horns at me too, while next to me so I'm deafened and driven off the road. Brits literally do not know how to drive.

Are you female, and did you begin to cycle during lockdown in London? I'd love to talk to you for a piece I'm doing at BBC Radio London #journorequest

This is such an important story. I definitely feel like I'm pushing through mud in the lead up to my period, and then I feel I could climb Mt Kilimanjaro at other times. However exercise overall makes me feel better at all times.
We’re looking at new research into athletes’ menstrual cycle. Are you aware of how your cycle affects your sporting performance? Do you get a surge of energy on certain days and feel more injury-prone on others – or maybe you’ve never tracked it? Email us bbc.in/3BHzy5k

A Haribo shortage in the UK! Expect shelves to empty quickly as cyclists storm stores to pick up the last remains. How else are we going to fuel our rides?
Been in a queue waiting to speak to someone @GWRHelp .... for an hour. WHY SO LONG #crying #justwanttobookabikeonatrain

Couldn't agree more. In fact, today is that kind of day where I definitely need to ride.

This was the first port of call with my GP, while it did help initially (with hot flashes and anxiety), it does run it course and you do have to move to HRT eventually. Why not start with HRT from the beginning?
Many women on here getting told to take antidepressants by GPs say NO! NICE guidelines here take this and show them! Screenshot from @Dianedanz retweet!@PeriMenoPost @lounge_latte @HarleyStEmp @behindthewoman1 @BLKMenopause @CockmanHayley @BBCWomansHour #makemenopausematter #hrt
