Rushing Woman's Syndrome: The Impact of a Never-Ending To-Do List and How to Stay Healthy in Today's Busy World | Libby Weaver

Oh dear, I think we might have a problem here.
She's talking about the SNS and PNS (sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems) except it sounds like she is saying "penis", which results in startling clauses such as "women with a dominant penis...". And it comes up a lot! (Oh God, now even that innocuous sentence is loaded with Freudian subtext! ?)

Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick | Maya Dusenbery

pick

The easiest way to describe this book is the say this is the specific ways everyday sexism is used against women and their bodies in the name of science. It‘s pathetic just how many doctors are, in fact, this bad. It‘s even worse to consider that many of these doctors are also women themselves.

GingerAntics The fact that anyone was fine conducting research on breast and uterine cancer, where every test subject was a man is proof that men are not superior at critical thinking. #MayaDusenbery #DoingHarm #audiobook #women #womenshealth #health #everydaysexism #doctors #donoharm 1mo

The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts | Mary Claire Haver, MD

pick

Conversations about menopause are *finally* becoming more common, but we need more of a push in the medical community to study the effects and potential treatments for it, instead of writing off all the symptoms as "just something you have to go through." ⬇️

staci.reads As someone who was put into sudden, forced menopause 17 months ago after a radical hysterectomy, I am concerned about my increased risk for things such as heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. This book does a great job of laying out all the issues menopause can cause and the various ways to treat it, including a serious, research-based discussion of HRT. I highly recommend this to all women experiencing perimenopause or postmenopause. 2mo

The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts | Mary Claire Haver, MD

Eye-opening and so informative! I feel so seen listening to this book by a doctor who specializes in menopause (after going through it herself).

A friend recommended it to me today when I told her about the strange, intense shoulder pain I‘ve been having lately. It‘s called “frozen shoulder”—I‘m not the only one!

Prairiegirl_reading When I was 42 I got frozen shoulder. I had never even heard of it! At 48 I had so many perimenopause symptoms that I had no idea to be looking for. It‘s so good to know! 3mo

Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Right? Just having a name for what‘s going on is good. I‘m going in to my doctor next week and hoping he can find ways to help me manage it. So much pain when it flares up! 3mo

Prairiegirl_reading I had debilitating fatigue, sleep issues, tinnitus, all sorts of things. I really hope you get the help you need. Suffering is not normal! 3mo

Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Thank you! I‘m going to ask for physical therapy and HRT. If he‘s not hearing me, I‘ll go to my OB-Gyn next 🤞💗 3mo

Ugh I hate that I need to read this 🤣

LapReader I‘m hearing you. 3mo

ravenlee I found this one to be informative and helpful, if you‘re looking for more. I‘m still waiting for the “pause” to hit, but I felt better informed after reading it (not so the Menopause Manifesto, though). Good luck!
