JoinTogether Meeting: Menopause with IA

The group is run by NRAS volunteer Lizzy. She was diagnosed with RA at the age of 39 after becoming suddenly and unexpectedly unwell. Almost overnight, she went from working full-time in the City and leading a very active life to struggling to leave the house. Since then, she has experienced the ups and downs of living with a long-term health condition, including trying multiple treatments to manage her symptoms. She also lives with fibromyalgia, has undergone two knee replacements, and experienced an early menopause at 40, for which she has been taking HRT ever since.

Despite these challenges, she remains passionate about supporting others. She volunteers as a bereavement counsellor and helps to run support groups for people who are grieving. She is also involved in a local women’s community choir, which she thoroughly enjoys.
