Online event offers support for menopause and pain2 hours agoHannah Mitchell, North East and CumbriaandStephanie Finnon, BBC Radio CumbriaPA MediaSouth Cumbria support group Menopause Matters is inviting people from across the county to share their experiencesA support group is holding a county-wide event for women coping with pain associated with menopause and perimenopause. South Cumbria support group Menopause Matters is holding an online forum for World Menopause Day, inviting people to share their experiences and ask questions. World Menopause Day is an annual event started by the International Menopause Society (IMS), with this year's theme Chronic Pain At Midlife. Facilitator Leigh Williams said she hoped Sunday's free online event, being held between 19:00 and 20:00 BST, would "open up the conversation" around pain and menopause. Menopause Matters also holds a monthly cafe-style drop-in in Barrow-in-Furness, offering women the opportunity to meet up in an informal environment. Williams was inspired to become a facilitator because of her own experience with perimenopause and chronic pain. "I know what it feels like when pain starts to shrink your world," she said.
