We need a live discussion group for peri-menopause and menopause
I find this forum too difficult to access and not very interactive. It would be good to have some live discussion on coping in peri-menopause and menopause.
I'd like to see a more permanent discussion group for us slightly more mature souls. I can't keep up with the speed of the other groups and they seem to talk about school and relationship angst. I'm too old for all that drama!
I agree that it would be good to have live discussion for coping with menopause and peri menopause.
I am 60 and my newest symptoms seems to be more forgetful. Not sure if it is regular aging or menopause related.

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! We do not have a particular discussion rn just for peri/menopause but many discussions can be helpful to learn to cope like for example Emotional Self-Care (May 12), Practising patience as we get older (May 17), Reinventing who we are (May 19) or Being comfortable with ourselves (May 20). Hope to see you there!
@affectionateBeechwood3335. Hi 50+ has open chat on Monday’s at 6:30pm est and Friday’s at 6pm est. There are also 1to1 listeners. (You can browse listeners for sex and age).
Thank you for this information!
@friendlyCat50 Your welcome. There are also guided discussions. (I will try to post the schedule).
I’m so tired of sweating!!! It’s ridiculous.
@DiggityD08
I can relate DiggityD08. It's no fun standing somewhere and all over sudden you're completely wet because of your own sweat! This happened to me when I was going through menopause. Something I found helpful is eating beans, particularly chick peas for more hormone balance (in good amounts but not excessively). I also always had a spray bottle of water next to my bed to get a quick cool down when needed.
@affectionateBeechwood3335
i think this is a wonderful idea beech<3
Please reach out to the relevant team for this, and if you dont know who that might be, i can provide you with those resources! Good luck, and i hope that it happens, as this is a real topic for women and it needs to be discussed as many women dont even know what changes are going on with there body or were not informed and also alot of women during this struggle deal with some mental health issues<3 brilliant love, wish you the best
peace love and happiness <3
@affectionateBeechwood3335 I think anyone can now host a discussion. Getting a specific room may be difficult but you could either write a discussion and get that approved or host an open chat on the topic. I'm not sure if anyone can host in any topic room, if so doing this in 50+ would make sense. A banner would be ip so people would know the topic. If you cannot do it in 50+ it would go into something like the Special Events room, again with a banner.
Here's a link on info for hosting https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/HostingRelatedReminderUpdatesTipsGuidelines_278488/
I went to the doctor to see if anything could be done to help my sweating. I’m still on the pill so she changed me to another pill with more estrogen. Ugh. This is awful.
@DiggityD08
I hope this change will help with your sweating.
I agree… menopause is a VERY important subject mentally and physically. I would love to discuss and get advice.
I am the loving husband of an amazing wife that has newly entered the journey of menopause. So many struggles for her and for our relationship. It would be a blessing to discuss this with others!!!!
@TheJeff. Hi I have been through menopause. I can it here in this forum if you are interested.
