>A service called ReplyGuy advertises itself as “the AI that plugs your product on Reddit” and which automatically “mentions your product in conversations naturally.” Unfortunately r/menopause on reddit is being inundated with bot/AI posts, and it’s frustrating and discouraging. All the more reason to find alternative spaces!

UK Women wins payout after boss dismissed menopause "excuses" - Lemmy.world
>An office manager has won a £37,000 payout after her boss told her she used the menopause as an “excuse for everything”. >Karen Farquharson, 49, said she was told to “just get on with it” after being off work ill due to her symptoms. Good on her! Anyone else experience workplace issues with bosses or coworkers?

>It is important to note, since this is an observational study, that it cannot say that having premenstrual disorders causes early menopause. Instead, the results show that there is a correlation between the two, said senior study author Dr. Donghao Lu, an associate professor in the department of medical epidemiology and biostatistics at Karolinska Institute.

It’s great that they are getting this out here: >"There is a menopause management vacuum,” said Dr. Stephanie Faubion, who is medical director for The Menopause Society and director of the Mayo Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health. >Only 7% of medical residents training in family medicine, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology said they felt adequately prepared to help women patients manage menopause, according to a 2017 Mayo Clinic survey. >“Just because you’re a physician in obstetrics and gynecology doesn’t mean you learned about menopause and hormones,” Faubion said. And state that: >The goal is not to require that employees confide to managers that they are in menopause or for managers to approach employees they just assume are menopausal. Rather, it’s to make everyone at work aware that menopause is a common health issue, and that various medical and mental health benefits exist that may help employees manage their symptoms.
**NEW** Menopause Wiki is here!!!
**NEW** Menopause Wiki is here!!! - Lemmy.world
Hey all, I have updated the menopause wiki! (it’s listed in the sidebar) I figured it was time for a refresh. I have expanded a number of different sections, to go into better detail about some of the more common symptoms (frustrations, like weight). Also the Resource section contains better organized lists so it’s easier to find recommended books, essentials, links to research for various topics, etc. I’ve kept it “research based”, in that I’ve compiled almost everything from reputable sources. Please read through and let me know if you want to see anything else specifically, or if there’s any issues that need correction.

Recent Globe & Mail article. >It’s Gen X and the women behind us demanding more. They’re not going to accept putting up with and pushing through symptoms that could last a decade or more >Despite the current knowledge gaps about menopause, there is some optimism among specialists about the next crop of doctors. More physicians are using a simple, six-point questionnaire to help train medical students and residents on screening for perimenopause symptoms

2nd Update: Some well-known Lemmy servers are under heavy load from the reddit exodus. New users are encouraged to sign up at one of the following general interest Lemmy instead (in no particular order): * Merveilles [https://merv.news/] * Lemmy@Rogers-net [https://lemmy.rogers-net.com/] * Lemmy.tf [https://lemmy.tf/] * Sopuli.xyz/ [https://sopuli.xyz/] Most Lemmy servers are federated (linked together), so you can easily subscribe and participate here regardless of which Lemmy server you call home. # Welcome! Hey everyone from reddit, welcome to our Menopause group! It’s going to be a bit of an adjustment, but we are resilient, (we are after all, menopause folk) and we will endure! Over the coming days, as we learn this new platform, we will be updating information as much as we can. Thanks for your patience. To answer some of the more frequently asked questions: 1. Lemmy [https://join-lemmy.org] is a decentralized, reddit-like platform that is open source (free as in freedom) 2. Lemmy servers, called instances, can be hosted by anyone, so no single person or entity is in control of our communities 3. There are many instances to choose from; see the top of this post for the latest servers that are accepting new users 4. Most Lemmy instances are linked together, sharing communities under one collective umbrella 5. You can create an account at nearly any Lemmy instance, including those mentioned above, and you will be able to participate in the communities hosted by other Lemmy instances as if they were all part of one big community 6. Lemmy is part of the fediverse [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse], a collection of open and decentralized social network platforms; Mastadon, a twitter-like microblogging platform that recently made international headlines is also part of the fediverse For mobile users: 1. The official Android app for Lemmy is Jerboa (jer-BO-uh) which can be found on the Play Store [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerboa] or F-Droid [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jerboa/]. 2. The official iOS app for Lemmy is Mlem [https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem]; it is currently in beta so you’ll need to install Apple’s TestFlight [https://testflight.apple.com/] and then open this link [https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc] on your phone As thousands, or perhaps millions of users are currently transitioning to Lemmy all at once, please be patient and remain open-minded to new experiences. Nobody could anticipate such a massive migration of users all at once, and many Lemmy instances are under heavy load at the moment. These are exciting times however, as we embrace a truly free and publicly-owned social network. Over the next couple of days we will do our best to answer your questions and provide support here. Like Reddit, Lemmy is a collection of many communities. Feel free to stretch your legs and have a look around!
