One of the prizes I was most surprised to win at Ingenuity Impact 2021 was the Engineers prize. To be honest I didn’t even think I was in the running as I hadn’t through of myself as an engineer.

2020 was a challenge for everyone. I suffered the pandemic, a redundancy and the menopause on full blast. Time to change – I didn’t have much choice. And I came out a winner!

The Story So Far

I started going through the Menopause about 5 years ago and found myself feeling lost and just not myself. I floundered around for 5 years bouncing back and forward from the GP with no answers (but lots of tablets!). Fed up and fobbed off. What saved me was 2 key things – 1) my friends who had been where I was and knew how I felt and could offer advice and 2) tracking my symptoms and the impacts of the various things I tried like medication and changes to exercise and diet.
