It’s a time of major hormonal changes that every woman goes through. You may be nding you aren’t sleeping as well, have brain fog, low mood or mood swings, or perhaps anxiety, and be wondering what is happening to you. is may be hormone-related and part of your menopause journey. ere are currently 34 recognised symptoms related to this stage of your life. It’s great that Menopause is now being spoken about more but sadly many women still su er in silence, perhaps unaware of what is happening to them or that help is available. It’s hard to keep going when you aren’t feeling 100% yourself. As a homeopath, I support many women, all with their own unique symptoms leading up to and during their menopausal years. I also personally used homeopathy to support myself through this life transition. Homeopathy can be used alongside HRT, or as an alternative. I support women looking for a natural approach for their menopause and also women on HRT wanting additional support for their ongoing symptoms. Homeopathy is individual to your speci c symptoms. It looks at all aspects of health, including lifestyle, diet, and exercise, all of which are important when looking at this stage of your life. If you are in your 40’s and are having symptoms, please don’t su er in silence. ere is help available to support you. Let’s get “YOU” back I o er a free, no-obligation telephone call to talk about you and your unique symptoms, and for you to ask me questions. More information and a blog about Menopause are available on my website: www. rebalancehomeopathy. co.uk or call me on: 07530 643478 Vanessa Pimbblet is a Registered Homeopath (RsHom) with a background in Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Visiting. Lifesaving Defibrillators to be Installed at Staffed South Western Railway Stations South Western Railway (SWR) is to install publicly accessible automated external de brillators at all 154 of the sta ed stations on its network. e train operator, which is one of the largest in the country with stations across Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Wilshire, South West London, Surrey, Somerset and Devon, is investing over half a million pounds in the project as part of its commitment to safety and serving local communities. The defibrillators will be placed in protective cabinets as close as possible to the front entrance of the stations, to be used day or night in the event of cardiac incidents at or near stations. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) estimates that there are around 30,000 out-ofhospital cardiac arrests every year in the United Kingdom, and tragically just 1 in 10 people survive. During a cardiac arrest, every minute counts. e immediate use of CPR and de brillators can double the chances of survival. Expanding the availability of these machines can, therefore, be lifesaving. Station sta and local ambulance services will be provided with the codes to unlock the cabinets and access the machines, which they can provide to members of the public in an emergency. Moreover, the locations will be added to ‘ e Circuit’ – the BHF’s database. Once registered, a de brillator is visible to NHS ambulance services who can direct 999 callers to its location so it can be used to help save lives. A heating system will ensure that the defibri l lators can maintain their normal operating temperature. A monitoring system will also send an alert if a machine malfunctions or the battery is low, ensuring it is always ready to use. The rollout of the machines across 154 stations is expected to be competed in the summer. Claire Mann, Managing Director of South Western Railway, said: “As part of SWR’s commitment to the local communities we serve, I’m so pleased that we are installing defibrillators at every single one of our staffed stations, which could very well prove to be lifesaving.” Defibrillators will be installed at staffed SWR stations Parkinson’s Support e New Forest Branch of Parkinson’s UK welcome all Parkinson’s people and their Carers to join a fun chair based exercise class with the emphasis on functional tness, followed by co ee, biscuits and chat. e classes are held Tuesday mornings at 10.30am at the Boldre War Memorial Hall, Pilley, SO41 5QG. £3 per session (Carers free).
