Thread Name: Help: Menopause. Effect on the voice?
Subject: RE: Help: Menopause. Effect on the voice?
Well said Ebbie!
I am 50 and am suddenly very interested in getting my head around what it means for me to be peri-menopausal and what this transitional phase is going to bring. There is a fantastic book called the "No Nonsense Guide to the Menopause" which is a proper evidence based account of the various aspects of the transition, women's experiences and what can help. However, it does not say anything that could help us singers! And the one thing that I would really find difficult to adjust to would be a sudden deterioration in my voice because singing is such a fundamental part of who I am.
This thread has some great advice and ideas though, which creates some hope, and it reminds me of why I like dropping by on Mudcat, cos ya never know when a little gem like this might pop up.
