Dear Annie: Your suggestions for “Lost but Nonetheless in Love” was ideal. Remaining a health care experienced, I experienced an knowing of what was transpiring when my wife began to enter pre-menopause, and I could guidance her throughout this transition into menopause. I honestly have no thought how so lots of girls go by way of this with so very little assist from well being treatment industry experts. So, thank you for your reaction and offering a audio clarification as to what could be transpiring. This prospects me to an additional issue. Why do women’s health and fitness treatment professionals not involve the patient’s companion in educating them? There is no literature in the waiting place for adult men to go through to learn much more about their feminine partners. No practitioner asks me to join them to examine any long term approach of care for my wife so that together we can fulfill her desires. So, it doesn’t surprise me that the writer does not know what to do to enable his wife and quiet his have fears. I am hopeful that women’s wellbeing training will improve drastically for women and their partners. — Supportive Husband

It was so bad I couldn’t even make selections. I requested her to decide for me regardless of whether I required antidepressants or hormone substitution treatment, which is not like me at all. I usually would under no circumstances go away such a enormous choice for myself to somebody else, but which is how determined I felt. She chose antidepressants. I have important incredibly hot flashes. Nonetheless even though, I am so grateful for possessing had any assist with the form I was in.
