These aren't "bad days." It's sleep, hot flushes, brain fog, anxiety, heavy periods… while holding a job. 💼 ⚠️ To be fair: it's a self-reported survey of UK women, so it doesn't tell us how many women everywhere are affected. But it shows how common it is, and how much support matters: the impact was worse for women who felt unsupported. If symptoms are affecting your work, they're worth raising with your doctor. You don't have to just push through. 🩺 (My free Perimenopause Toolkit helps you prepare for your next appointment.
