Menopause expert: The 7 perimenopause symptoms you really weren’t expecting

Hot flushes, brain fog, aching joints… we’ve all heard about (and likely experienced!) the familiar issues that perimenopause can cause. But crashing the car and imaginary crawling insects are just a few of the more bizarre symptoms you may have been experiencing thanks to hormonal shifts in the body.  According to a recent survey more than 50 per cent of women can experience 10 different symptoms during menopause, many of which you would never have expected. Shona Wilkinson, Lead Nutritionist at ethical supplement and nutrition brand DR.VEGAN, says, “While there are many common symptoms of menopause, there are still a few that tend to catch people off guard.  “When most people think of these symptoms they think of hot flushes, mood swings or trouble sleeping.

These 5 warning signs showed me my accounts weren’t as secure as I thought

Anyone who takes their online safety seriously can still be lulled into a false sense of security, myself included. I used to think my accounts were secure enough, with complex passwords, occasional security updates, and a feeling of confidence that platforms would warn me if something went wrong. However, over the years, certain signals have alerted me to the fact that my accounts weren’t as watertight as I thought. While I never experienced a dramatic hack or emptied bank account, a series of warning signs showed me that my digital life was more exposed than I believed. And while tools helped expose risks, my own behavior and awareness were key to minimizing threats. Google and Microsoft security activity pages My login histories revealed patterns I didn’t expect Both Google and Microsoft provide detailed security activity dashboards, and aside from the occasional check when prompted, I had largely ignored them. When I eventually paid attention, I noticed some login attempts that didn’t match my routine with IPs from unfamiliar locations. Other hazards I looked for included …
