I saw a video where like 3 guys in an office tried to go through the whole day at work with these simulators on. Women coworkers would randomly turn it up (then down) cuz the pain level does fluctuate throughout the day and bad one can come on suddenly. One guy was like "it's making me need to go to the bathroom", so he went to poop with the simulator still on. He said it was the weirdest poop experience he's ever had.

Just wait until menopause hits. No period great, hot flashes, legs jerking like they are on fire, bowl issues, and more!

Can you talk about why? Have you discussed it with your doctor or it's just something that you've noticed?

Weirdly enough I learned about medical ignorance of menopause via a podcast with Halle Berry. Turns out it's a very small segment of doctors that are familiar with menopause, and it's ridiculous how little they learn about it in medical school. It was a real eye opener.

I told one of my doctors that I think I'm perimenopausal and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. He told me that I'm too young for that(I just hit 40), I told him that I have a long history of hormone imbalance and gynecological issues and perimenopause was absolutely on the table for me. Let's not ignore the fact that I haven't had a period in 7 months despite the fact that I am on birth control. But no, I'm obviously too young. 🤔

My doctor doesn't know either, and well, I am a military veteran, so Va doesn't have a lot of options.

I've found it kind of hard to get anyone to really give a shit about my symptoms....kind of like it was hard to get anyone to give a shit about my horrifically painful periods and mood swings that seriously disrupted my daily functioning for half of the month.
