Does this sound familiar?
It rarely arrives as a storm — it sneaks in, in the middle of a life that is already full.
The hot flashes
The heat that strikes mid-meeting, in the queue, or in the middle of the night.
The sleep
You wake at 3:12 am, drenched, and your brain refuses to go back to sleep.
The brain fog
Words that vanish, keys that hide, lists that get forgotten.
The mood
Irritation over small things. Tears that come out of nowhere.
The body
Aching joints, a waistline that changed although you changed nothing.
The intimacy
Dryness that turns what used to feel good into something that hurts.
The anxiety
A new, nagging worry you never asked for.
The loneliness
The feeling that nobody quite understands — not even your doctor.
Roughly three in four women get symptoms during menopause. You are not alone — and there is more to do than “put up with it”.
Malin's story
I woke at 3:12 am, soaked through, heart racing. The sheets had to be changed for the second time that night. Sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for my body to calm down, I thought: where did I go? It would take me two years to find the answer — and it didn't start at all where I expected.— From chapter 1, “My story” · Read more about Malin and the book

What format is the book in?

Who is Malin?
Malin is a pen name and narrative voice. The story is a composite portrayal of experiences shared by very many women, and the advice is in line with established Swedish health sources. We believe in recognition — and in honesty about the form.
Is the book medical advice?
No. The book is personal experience and general lifestyle advice — a complement to, not a substitute for, healthcare. Bleeding after menopause should always be examined by a doctor.
About Malin
Malin is the narrative voice of The Menopause Handbook — a pen name, and a story composed of what so many women go through: the job, the teenagers, the nights, the fight to be taken seriously. Read more about the book and its form here.
