friend: nothing anyone says can prepare you for the menopause, I’d rather menstruate
wendy: you’d really rather be having monthly cramps that are so painful you puke and pass-out, rather be cleaning up the mess with poorly designed sanitary systems?
friend: Oh YES
wendy: (unpublisahble string of anglo-saxon words and made-up words)

A friend [female] told me something similar… and I know that before going through the menopause she really did suffer – she had to have industrial strength painkillers from the doctor [she had complications].
Anyhow, it’s all very worrying.

I didn’t dare go first.
A friend had a very early menopause. Not technically complicated, but very early. Between crying, sleeping, aching and feeling phenomenally shitty all round she didn’t have a lot of fun with it.
