#pelvicroar's note: this is a letter, written by the individual concerned, to a theatre where the individual was publicly humiliated a few days ago. She had to exit during a performance to access the toilet, due to bladder and bowel issues. She was heckled and highlighted by the actors on stage (as were some other audience members earlier) and she has been brave and honest in deciding to tackle this rather than hide away… All identifiable details have been removed whilst the

“Va Va Voom” — the 10 day energy diet by Jackie Lynch — #pelvicroar review (Part 2): Last June, I attended one of “Positive Pause’s” menopause sessions and first met Jackie. She is an excellent and very experienced nutritionist and some of her tips (such as cashew nut butter in porridge) made an almost instant difference to some of my most challenging menopause symptoms.I was inspired by the changes and decided to buy her book, “Va Va Voom”, which covers more general nutritio

Jackie Lynch:“Va Va Voom – the 10-day energy diet” Part one! We first came across Jackie at the initial Hot Flush (now Positive Pause) menopause event in June 2018. Jackie is a registered nutritionist and owns the WellWellWell clinic in London. She is very experienced and regularly contributes to the media on nutritional issues.

Back in the autumn, I wrote a detailed blog about four sets of clothing that I had been testing from companies making garments for women experiencing the temperature challenges of menopause, among other things. The results were outstandingly positive and I am still enjoying the items from 51 Apparel, Become, Cucumber Clothing and Esteem No Pause. Recently, 51 Apparel sent me a sample of their new shorts, made from an even softer and silkier fabric. Even in the midst of the ho

Menopause is finally becoming a popular topic in social media circles - there is a mass of information out there and lots of determined women working hard to improve awareness of the symptoms commonly associated with this time of life. Elaine (who lives in Edinburgh) happened to be staying with me in June for a weekend, coinciding with an interesting sounding meeting on the menopause close to my house in South London. We decided to splash out £25 each and go....not only is it

Hello to all our new subscribers. It has been a very busy week since Elaine's wonderful video was featured on the BBC news page, and they linked through to our site. We are delighted that you have come to visit us and subscribe! The three of us are all busy in our other lives - pelvic health physiotherapy, children (8 between us) and a variety of other things leaves us with very little spare time. However, we are all very passionate about #pelvicroar and the opportunity to br

Ten days ago Emma, Elaine and I were involved in a flurry of email conversations as we had identified that there were three sets of people campaigning for the same cause. We decided that there is so much passion, enthusiasm and campaigning in the pelvic health arena at the moment yet even with the availability of social media it is not always possible to join the dots and connect with others who are on the same path. This led to the rapid creation of #pelvicroar, which we int
