I appreciate this conversation. So many partners of women going through menopause are trying to do what they always do - fix something. While this approach has often helped in the past, it's much harder to do now because women aren't always sure what is wrong beyond the fact that they don't feel like themselves: they aren't sleeping, their anxiety is often on the rise, their energy levels are down, their bodies ache in new ways, and they have debilitating brain fog to name a few. Yet as you pointed out, their doctors tell them they are fine. Without knowing what exactly is wrong, it becomes impossible to find a viable solution both for women and their partners witnessing the many changes menopause brings.
