Swavy?
Stick straight hair all my life. Now at 57, the new hairs are coming in curly/coily and the underside has waves. What is going on?

A recently published paper in the British Menopause Journal looked at menopause information on social media and found over 60% of it didn’t reflect evidenced based information and often had conflict of interest. It only looked at information between 2022-2023. It’s likely even worse now with the proliferation of menopause related accounts and creators with large followings becoming employed by large telehealth companies who sell medications directly to consumers and/or selling supplements and programs.
I have silver status with Alasak or whatever they are calling the first level now but with the cuts to the places I travel to the most I wind up flying someone else. I decided to do the status match trial with United. I will have to take a few unplanned trips in the next 120 to keep the status. Just curious to hear feedback from those of you who made the switch.
It’s usually fairly mild year round where I live (50’s to 60’s), homes don’t have AC etc but last few days have been warm (mid to upper 70’s) and muggy (75 in house) and my progesterone pills which are usually firm capsules are super soft and almost feel like could easily burst. Has anyone had this happen? Don’t see anything about heat impacting them and 75 isn’t hot hot… just weird how soft they have become
I am at a work event, about 40 women, more than half menopause age. The room got stuffy and someone said there’s a group of us in menopause dying of heat here can we get some AC? We all comisserated.
Later in the day was in the bathroom and someone muttered “oh crap” from a stall and called out “anyone have tampons”. Poor woman had bled through her pants.
I thought, “thank goodness don’t have to deal with THAT anymore. Another woman had to step out often to pump because she’s nursing.
Was just an interesting look into the reproductive journey in all its phases.
I have long straight, fine hair but suddenly have this strange halo of frizz. This was about 2 hours after washing/blow drying. It’s not warm or particularly humid where I live. My hair is overall healthy. Professional highlights 2x a year. 57 and my hair texture has changed with menopause but this weird frizz what do i do?
I have gotten my RX AA from Amazon Pharmacy for a few years now. I got an email saying there is a nationwide shortage of this medication and they suggest Adapalene as a replacement. Has anyone else heard of ths shortage or had trouble getting it? My local pharmacy said they have some in stock luckily but just seems very strange!
Suddenly have this outer layer of frizz over my entire head of fine straight hair. My hair is healthy overall. Its not damage or breakage just these shorter, wavier hairs sticking out in a layer over otherwise straight, soft hair…suggestions how to fix this?
For the last two years or so Ive had white flaky and scaley patches on my ear lobes and inside ear. Not itchy but it looks yucky. My doctor said it is Seborrhoeic dermatitis and gave me a cream but didn’t help much. In February I increased my patch .050 to .075 and just occured to me it’s almost gone!
I recently purchased the Patene Abundant and Strong. Do you put it just at the top or make sections all around your head so the entire scalp is covered?
The pharmacy which almost exclusively has had Mylan patches over the last 2+ years gave me a box of Llyanna. I don’t recall seeing much about this one here. Ive only had Mylan except for 2 weekly Sandoz patches when first started but then switched to 2x a week.
I know people have different favorites but wondering if anyone has had this patch and how it compares to others if you have tried several. I almost refused it but figured beggars can’t be choosers. I usually use Amazon but they canceled my order due to stock.
This study is out of Dr. Susan Davis's lab, she is considered the worlds leading expert on women and testosterone.
Edited TLDR: None of the hormones measured, not testosterone, not androstenedione, not DHEA, had any statistically significant association with sexual desire in either premenopausal or peri-postmenopausal women. This did not look at TRT.
57 years old. Type 2 roasacea, sensitive, acne prone but dry skin. I went from cleansing twice a day with LRP Toleraine cleanser to only splashing a few times with water in AM and double cleansing in the PM with bioderma micellar oil cleanser followed by LRP Toleraine cleanser. No other changes. The difference in my skin is significant. Less dry, congested, and more even texture and haven’t had a breakout in a while.
I’m a Silver and have the Atmos card. For years I have always gotten 2 checked bags for free. Checked in today for a flight and second bag is $55. Is this a “high fuel cost” change?
Where are we finding nice and well fitting suits that are reasonably priced i.e not $200+
Unfortunately I didn’t get my body in supermodel shape (or even close lol) so those teeny postage stamp bikini tops and thong bottoms I am seeing around are not going to cut it but I also don’t want Olympic swimmer full on coverage either.
Our organization is holding a meeting this summer and looking for free or low cost meeting space that can be set up classroom style. Our group is too large (approx 50) for the Google space we typically use. Any ideas?
