It's amazing how much of the #menopausal transition is glossed over in medical school. As a doctor going through this myself, I have the same questions as you. Medicine is so very behind on women's health. If anyone is interested, I can post things I learn along the way. #inthistogether

Timara (she/her) @timaraI went to the doctor recently and went through a series of "Is something wrong or am I just getting older?" questions. And I wish there were doctors to help us age like they'd tell us what to expect and help us transition. Does that already exist?06:25 PM - May 06, 2024

Josol @Josol1626Just saw this young man on Instagram and he is impressive! He is known as the “medical myth buster”. He calls out racial bias in medicine and gives health information that Dr’s are learning from. Interesting read and follow on Instagram. 👏👏07:35 AM - Apr 18, 2024

Only 42% of people think they get enough #sleep . A dismal number. It's even worse for women (36% for women overall, only 27% for women under 50). This poll blames it on #stress . You think?!! How many hours do YOU sleep every night? #womenshealth

It's not only about insurance. Many women don't get #mammograms for reasons that range from a lack of transportation to having a hard time getting the time off of work. Not everyone can afford the lost wages, especially if they are facing food insecurity. We need to be more proactive for women.

Have you had to skimp on health care because of cost? You're not alone. 1 in 3 people do it. It's unacceptable that healthcare in the US is out of reach for so many people. Our country needs to do better. #healthcare

The intention is good but this #breastcancer risk calculator is not the end all be all. Get regular mammograms if you are 40+, sooner if you have a family history. If you have any changes in your breasts (a lump, a change in contour, nipple discharge etc), do not hesitate to reach out for help.

PSA: Spouses and Family if you are the financial caretaker for you and your spouse or a family member, PLEASE do not keep secrets about finances. Make sure your spouse or some responsible party has knowledge and access to the accounts. Fixing shit years after you die is a fucking pain in the ass.

No @ZoeOeoZAfter 5 years of calls, emails and letters we FINALLY got the last of my dad's secret financial doings fixed, that we know. He NEVER told mom anything. He set up a health related account for her 2 years before he passed and never told anyone. In fact he even forged her signature on the account. WTF!02:05 PM - Feb 27, 2024
