Should menopause be classed as a disability?I knew that I would go through the menopause I just didn't realise that it was happening, obviously by not having periods for a long time. I'm sorry to hear what your mother experienced, and yes agree regarding those women who have no experience of the suffering the menopause cause.ViewDate:

Should menopause be classed as a disability?I suffered for years every month with my periods, in the end I had to have a hysterectomy where the took one of my ovaries as well, so when the menopause hit, I had no idea what was going on, I suffered from brain fog, confusion, as well as hot flushes. Hot flushes are not the only symptom of the menopause, I could have managed easily enough if they were my only symptom. I was disciplined because of my bad attendance, if only I'd known what was happening, I could have talked to HR and maybe they would have allowed me to vary my working hours, and they would have understood why I was unable to work to my full ability some of the time. The menopause doesn't just come and go once a month, so your comparison to menstruation is incorrect. As I said I suffered with my periods, but the menopause was on a totally different level. You are lucky if your only symptom of the menopause is hot flushes.ViewDate:

Should menopause be classed as a disability?I didn't realise I was going through the menopause because I had had a hysterectomy when one of my ovaries was removed years earlier. It is only now, when the menopause has been discussed a lot that I realise that was what was happening to me. I suffered brain fog, confusion, as well as the hot sweats, I found it more and more difficult to carry out my job, and there were many days when it was a real struggle to get up and go to work. I ended up with a bad attendance record. If only I'd realised what was happening, I could have spoken to HR and hopefully could have worked out something with them. However, this was back in the early 2000's, so I don't know if anything would have been done, but I like to think that they would have understood my absences and brain fog. So I think that women suffering like I did should have all the help and understanding in the work place and yes it should be classed as a disability.ViewDate:

Do you think Scotland should hold a second referendum?Lionel, apologies accepted, I understand what you are saying, and yes we are weaker in economic terms, better united I say, and now our own poison dwarf, Leanne Wood wants to jump on the bandwagon if Scotland does have another referendum and votes to leave!ViewDate:

Do you think Scotland should hold a second referendum?While I agree with most of what you have said, Lionel, I do object to being called 'weak'! I am Welsh, and will always support the Union, as far as I am concerned the Welsh Assembly is a total waste of space and time!ViewDate:
