Well, it’s been a full year for me not having my menstrual cycle. I’m officially in menopause at the ripe old age of 41, lol.

I began menstruating at the age of nine, so I’m not missing the aggregation that comes with it. According to my GYN, it’s not uncommon for women with autoimmune conditions to enter menopause at an early age. The body is basically out of whack.

I don’t enjoy the night sweats, but I appreciate not having that bleeding in addition to what comes with HS. Gotta be thankful for everything 🙏🏽
