HOW TO RESPOND: Since I can’t seem to figure out how to make a poll yet (maybe  it’s no longer a feature, maybe it’s cause this is from my personal page and not like a group page) please feel free to put your answers in the comments below, or you’re welcome to just cut and paste my message into a PM and write out your answers, etc. If you would like to call me, we can schedule a time to talk, and I can record your answers, or if this is something that you have some professional license/experience to speak on and you want to be involved potentially, just let me know.  I would be extremely grateful, if you would share this post with your female friends who are either “of this age group” or with any women who have been surgically or chemically forced into perimenopause/menopause.
