Hi Dee,
I am doing a piece for First for Women (1.5 million readers) on pesky often-experienced meno symptoms.
I'm seeking everyday women 35 - 60 years old who have experienced perimenopause/ menopause symptoms as noted below and who found a natural remedy that really worked - and would like to share it with our readers – off-beat but successful solutions very much welcome.
If this info could be put out there in some mass-mailing kind of way as a heads-up for your membership, I can't tell you how much that would be appreciated (for me, when I'm doing a piece like this, a mass-mailing is better than sex!).
All I need any interested members to forward to me is a name, age, city and state, a brief story overview including an anecdotal example of the problem (one symptom should be highlighted for the anecdote and the more touching, embarrassing or funny, the anecdote is, the better!) and an electronic photo, so we can put a face with the story (a photo will eventually be included for the article)..
Possible symptoms: hot flashes, flushes/night sweats, clamminess, irritability, mood swings, sleep problems, depression/sudden tears, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, crushing fatigue, anxiety, memory brown-outs, incontinence ...
I want this to be not only informative but an utterly compelling piece for our readers.
As always with a magazine, the deadline is tight and I will be working on this right through the weekend.
Thanks so, so much!
