Ice

The thought of an ice bath and wild swimming repels me. I want to keep warm, not shiver my way through menopause. I had rare hot flushes, though cutting out red wine, milk, or a second coffee helped stop the cardi off and on dance. Though I missed the meno memo of cold hands and feet and the genito-urinary symptoms of menopause.  So I can’t ignore the changes in my body and my genitals despite my best efforts.
