My mum's story ... from London to Lane End and being born at Shardeloes in Amersham

19/12/2023

This is an entirely personal post and one that I have wanted to write for a while, but a busy work schedule, sponsored blog posts and life generally kept getting in the way!  I'd love you to read it, but I also appreciate it is probably only of real interest to family, friends and others born at Shardeloes in Amersham!  But if you are intrigued, here goes ... I love family history and it is so important to record these memories or they soon get forgotten.

Earlier this year my dear dad was enjoying a walk on Old Amersham High Street and happened to go past Amersham Museum, in their window was a big display all about the 'Shardeloes Babies' and so my dad went in to find out more!  My mum was born at Shardeloes on 14th June 1944 and so she is a Shardeloes baby and this is her story.

A new supplement for urinary tract infections in menopause | review of V-Health from Feel

4/12/2023

2 Comments

 
With 1 in 2 of women experiencing a vaginal infection in their lifetime, and many more getting recurrent UTIs especially in menopause, it is something that we need to all be aware of!  Sadly many women are dismissed by their GPs and not given the help they so desperately need. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) become more common in menopause due to the physiological changes that take place.  It's not an easy time!

I personally have not had recurrent infections, but the one or two I have had were uncomfortable enough!  My article shares information on how to prevent a UTI in menopause including a review of V-Health a new natural supplement from Feel 

Recurrent UTIs come under a set of symptoms known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and they can severely impact on our quality of life.  Depleting hormones means that the delicate vaginal ph is no longer present which can allow bad bacteria to flourish.

So what can we do to prevent recurrent UTIs and better care for our vaginal health and can Feel V-Health help with that?
