   @Oscii yes but also I'm wise like a matriarchal orca (the only other mammal that has a menopause apparently)

     @Oscii I'm 57 and like this most of the time 😢
     I like to think of the reduction in heating bills but I hate feeling sticky all the time

     I'm either menopausal or I have a fever. I don't FEEL ill, I'm just very hot. Hot to the point of sitting outside with no jumper on, because the house is too hot for me. Sweaty. Hot.

     I had a phase of this about three years ago. Mate told me I was too young to be menopausal, but she didn't suggest what it might be instead. I was 44, nearly 45, then. I'm 47, nearly 48, now.

     Does menopause give you symptoms, back off for a bit, then come back? It turns out I know very little about this.
