Diane has always been a great supporter of ours through the years and has given both of us amazing support going through perimenopause/menopause. We were proud to be asked to contribute and review Diane’s book recently. Well done Diane ❤️❤️❤️ Clare & Emma

Great article, well done @caitsith675 and @positivepauseuk for helping to raise awareness of this condition. The petition link is in the article. Please sign and share as we only have until August to gain the 10k signatures needed ♥️
Most common in peri/menopause, painful lichen sclerosus estimated to impact 1/70 women. Lack of awareness means under-reported/untreated. One woman’s calling for more research - sign her petition click below for 🔗 ⁦@LSclerosus⁩ ⁦@eveappealpositivepause.co.uk/menopaus…

May 2023 the #lichensclerosus community lost a beautiful soul and fierce LS advocate. Ellen Swanborn-De Lange was the head of the LS Association in the Netherlands. Honor Ellen's memory by sharing this and reading my post on her life at lostlabia.com/ellen

So important for #nurses to get a great understanding of genital health for all of their clients, and sometimes even advocate for them. Being able to talk - proactively - about #SexualHealth & #Wellbeing matters can be life enhancing & life-saving!

"I'm Fine" How many times do we say this because it's easier then telling the truth and having to explain how much we are suffering? There are people you can talk to. Mental health charities, GPs, counsellors and us ♥️
