How have these little swines affected you at different stages of your life, from puberty to menopause or anywhere in between?
I think this is an area of medicine / science which is completely under-explored.

The reasons for lack of work on menopausal problems?? The majority of researchers are men.... after all we just need to pull ourselves together( no I am joking) I told himself years ago that we (note the we) would be going through the menopause without resorting to hormone treatment. We have both survived!
I was menopausal at 38 , not peri menopausal , I appeared to go straight into it . My life and everyone elses who was close to me in retrospect was an abject misery for the following 8 yrs. I won't expand apart from saying that it was and will be the most awful time of my life .... 8yrs I won't ever get back. I know some people who sail through it and I'm honestly delighted for them .
Don't get me started, N-M! I may have time tomorrow.
Suffice it to say right now that I am 66 years old (67 next month) and still suffer from the things.
After collapsing regularly at school and being sent home for 2 days in bed with hotties on my tummy. My mum was finally alerted by a friend of hers that I was in dire straits so she eventually took me to the docs. He put me on the pill, I was 14 and knew nothing of such things. The relief!! My periods completely wrecked my life for a week each month.
The contraceptive pill in those days was pretty strong, but I've survived. I remained on various forms of it until I was 50 then went on to HRT for 3 years until there was the silly scare. Came off it, perforce, and hit a brick wall hormone-wise. I was in bed for days at a time alternately shivering and sweating, washing bedding every day. This has continued ever since and it has finally calmed down a bit (after nearly 17 years!) but I still pale and shiver and then blush red and sweat.....I am fed-up of 'investigations' in case I have 'nasties'. It's hormones, OK and I hate them, they have ruined my life at times (marriage breakup is certainly mainly to do with them).
It is completely under-explored, under-appreciated and under-funded. We are expected to playa full part in life, but like a favourite carrying 4 or 5 stones weighting. :(

I get emotional at stories of animal cruelty and suchlike but otherwise my emotions are completely governed by my massively fluctuating hormones.
I definitely suffer with oestrogen dominance which is undoubtedly what causes my painful breasts condition. My nan died with endometrial cancer, the only known cause of which is oestrogen dominance :(
