Adele, a mother-of-two from Fife, was in her early 30s.”For years and years I was pushing my body beyond its limits physically and mentally. Bodybuilding is an extreme sport and I wasn’t healthy,” she told BBC Scotland News. “You could see my ribs and my bone structure, I was emaciated. How my body looked was not nice and healthy and I went against my intelligence and knowledge to put myself through those gruelling diets.”I was always hungry and was never satiated.”Image source, Adele JohnstonImage caption, Adele Johnston with her husband Sean and twin daughters, Clara and ShannonAt 5ft 8ins (1.7m), Adele was only 8 stones 3lbs (53kg) as a bodybuilder – two stones lighter than she is now.”I’ve started to question why I went into an early perimenopause and have asked many doctors if it was due to my bodybuilding and they said ‘It is possible but we don’t have the research,” she said. Dr Heather Currie, a specialist gynaecologist at NHS Dumfries and Galloway, suggested the extreme bodybuilding could have caused Adele’s menstrual cycle to “stall”. “Anything in extreme you have to question if that is going to have other effects and what I often talk about is everything in moderation,” she said. “Any over excess or excess of not enough of something is not going to be good overall.”If the whole cycle is able to stall then you could see why some people might have symptoms [of perimenopause].”Dr Currie, who advises the Scottish government on the menopause and women’s health, suggested the ovaries could “return to normal” once Adele stopped bodybuilding. “Bodybuilding could have influenced it but she will never know,” she added. Image source, Adele JohnstonImage caption, Adele now runs a menopause business and training academy as the Menopause CoachAdele has now given up bodybuilding – but she has also been put on HRT and a Mirena coil, which completely stops her monthly periods, to help her perimenopausal symptoms. The 40-year-old is finally feeling better and is not prepared to come off the medication to check whether her cycle has recovered. “I suffered from horrific perimenopause symptoms,” she said. “I had heart palpitations and thought I was having a heart attack, I couldn’t sleep at night so was exhausted, I had cold sweats and I was itchy all over my body.”I had so much pain in my vulva I had to stand at my desk at work. I had abdominal bloating and bleeding gums and was losing my hair. It was very traumatic.”Because I have the Mirena coil and my hormones feel stable, I’m not prepared to remove it to check if I’m having a bleed.”What is the perimenopause? Image source, Dr Paula Briggs, Fast facts for MenopauseThe menopause is when women’s periods stop, which normally happens around the age of 51.The lead-up to this happening, when periods become irregular, is known as the peri-menopause. It starts, on average, at 46.This is when many women notice their periods becoming unpredictable or heavy, and have feelings or physical problems they haven’t experienced before.When periods haven’t happened for 12 months, you have reached menopause.What is the menopause and what are the signs?Vicky McCann, the chairwoman of the British Natural Bodybuilding Federation, said any potential link between bodybuilding and the early perimenopause was a “very interesting subject”.The 54-year-old said: “I have been competing for 30 years and have only had signs of menopause in the last three years.”I had no issues up until then and I have dieted and trained all my life. I can think of about three other people my age who have also had no problems.”However, the thing is people are all unique, it’s an interesting subject.”Jessica Watson, co-founder of menopause education organisation, Gloriah, said she had encountered many stories like Adele’s. “There is an urgent need for greater recognition of, and research into, the causes of early menopause – which is at the heart of what we are campaigning for,” she added. ‘I could barely function’Adele is now a menopause coach after resigning from her job as an operational resilience manager in an investment bank.”My debilitating symptoms eventually forced me to leave my job,” she said. “The company I worked for couldn’t support me in my needs when I was going through perimenopause.”I’d asked for six weeks of reduced hours while I adjusted to being on HRT and they refused.”I was so unwell I could barely function. So my husband Sean said leave and we would work it out.”Adele said she was nervous leaving her job.”It was petrifying to say goodbye to my salary, pension, benefits and career path, but I saw it as an opportunity to retrain as a menopause coach, using what I’d been through to help others.”She added: “Bodybuilding is a glitzy and glamorous sport but behind the stage we have to be mindful of the health implications.”Related TopicsEdinburghHealthDunfermlineMenopauseMore on this storyWhat is the menopause and what are the signs?Published23 March 2023HRT medicine to be sold over counter for first timePublished8 September 2022Related Internet LinksAdele Johnston CoachingGloriahBritish Natural Bodybuilding Federation official websiteThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.From other local news sitesTemperatures set to plummet as snow predicted this weekExternalEdinburgh Evening NewsCoco and Tallulah at heart of Lia Louise McBride’s new bookExternalEast Lothian CourierMan threatened with weapon before van was stolen in DundeeExternalTayside and Fife CourierHyperclub eventually has new home with base in LochgellyExternalCentral Fife TimesBallingry woman has admitted booting a police officerExternalCentral Fife TimesPolice stop speeding driver on A1 near Queen Margaret UniversityExternalEast Lothian CourierInformation about BBC links to other news sitesTop StoriesI would speak to killer’s mother – Brianna’s mumPublished52 minutes agoLive.

Fleximan has already claimed at least 15 successful strikes, and a special police task force and four different prosecutors’ offices are now investigating the attacks. The anonymous vandal began leaving a trail of destruction months ago in the north-east, as more and more of the cameras were put out of action.Photos of his actions then spread on social media, along with the nickname taken from the Italian word for angle grinder, flessibile – the tool he has mostly used to destroy the cameras.The campaign may reflect popular anger about the proliferation of speed cameras, but road deaths in Italy are higher than in many other European countries.What is not clear is whether Fleximan is one man or two, or perhaps he has become a number of copycat vandals.Police in the north-west Piedmont region say they have charged a 50-year-old suspect, but most of the attacks have taken place in the Veneto area of the north-east.Image source, Asti prefectureImage caption, Closed-circuit TV captured two men sawing down a speed camera in the north-western Asti areaAt the scene of one of his most recent attacks, the anonymous vigilante left a handwritten message: “Fleximan is coming.”The vandal’s methods are consistent, and the chorus of approval is growing on social media, where Fleximan is treated as a sort of modern Robin Hood. So much so that a street artist in Padua called Evyrein has dedicated his latest work to Fleximan. His graffiti depicts Uma Thurman’s character from Kill Bill, holding a sword in one hand and a cut-up speed camera in the other. The autovelox, as it is known in Italian, has always been contentious in Europe. But Italy is known to have the highest number on the continent, estimated at more than 11,000.That’s a third more than the UK’s 7,700 and almost three times as many as in Germany with 4,700.This is likely to explain some of the anger towards the Italian speed detector, and local mayors have said they won’t replace the vandalised cameras just yet. The official reason is to calm the situation down.Image caption, This camera was dismantled near Padua in the north eastFines imposed on drivers have risen dramatically in recent years, with Florence taking €23.2m ($25m; £20m) in 2022, according to Italian consumer group Codacons, followed by Milan, Genoa and Rome.But Italy has a less than impressive track record on road safety. The European Transport Safety Council put the number of deaths in Italy per million inhabitants at 54 in 2022, almost twice as many as the 26 per million lives lost in the UK and 37 per million in Spain.For Paola Di Caro, a political journalist with Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera, these numbers are highly personal and she has directly challenged Fleximan’s narrative of standing up for people’s freedom with her own devastating experience.Her 18-year-old son Francesco Valdiserri was knocked down and killed by a speeding driver as he waited for a bus in Rome in October 2022. “I would just like [Fleximan] to feel for one day, just one day, what I feel when I go to lay flowers where my son was killed… and then at [the cemetery in] Verano where he was closed forever behind poured concrete.”As she headed to her son’s grave, she told the BBC that the Fleximan enigma reflected a culture that tells people they have the right to feel that rules do not apply to them.”People hail him as a hero, but Fleximan for me is just shameful. The idea that these actions may be done for fun… is just unbearable to me. It is like they are making fun of my son.”Image source, Paola di CaraImage caption, Paola di Cara’s son Francesco was killed by a speeding driver in RomeThe speed camera story has also entered Italian politics, with nationalist League leader Matteo Salvini eyeing an opportunity ahead of regional and European parliamentary elections.Mr Salvini, who is also transport minister and deputy prime minister, has targeted the mayor of Bologna, Matteo Lepore, for bringing in a new 30km/h (18mph) speed limit across the city. The Bologna speed reduction was signed off by Mr Salvini’s own ministry, and inspired by European Commission figures that show the risk of death for pedestrians is eight times higher at 50km/h than at 30km/h.Bologna’s reduced speed limit has kickstarted a drivers’ protest, and a campaign for a referendum on the issue has attracted more than 52,000 names. “The problem is that a 30km/h limit is just too low,” complained Guendalina Furini, a 22-year-old student who started the petition.”It takes too long to cross the city, and it does not solve the real problem, which is people driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” she explained.She challenged the mayor at a recent meeting, so far with no success.Although she admits she is no expert on safety statistics she wants her voice to be heard. “We have obtained the right to divorce and abortion through referendums, why shouldn’t this be decided in that way too? This is not the democracy I am studying at university.”Related TopicsItalyRoad safetyTop StoriesUN agency condemns aid halt after Hamas attack claimPublished3 hours agoPost Office chairman asked to step downPublished6 hours agoEx-minister of secretive sect admits child sex abusePublished1 hour agoFeaturesWill $83m defamation damages really deter Trump?Warning over children using anti-ageing skincare productsTwins separated and sold at birth reunited by TikTokHuge push for Gaza aid – but little hope for those sufferingBali bomb families face accused at Guantanamo Bay’What terminal cancer has taught me about life’Jess Glynne says she ‘fell out of love with music’The Kindertransport refugees who made Britain homeCheese, beef, cars: What UK-Canada trade rift meansElsewhere on the BBCA Scottish wild swimming road-trip!Julie Wilson Nimmo and Greg Hemphill take the plunge at Scotland’s breath-taking wild swimming spotsAttributioniPlayerScientists uncover alcohol’s hidden dangersInvestigating what alcohol is and why so many people love to drink itAttributioniPlayerCould this Italian dream turn into a real nightmare?Amanda Holden and Alan Carr don their boiler suits to renovate a dilapidated house in TuscanyAttributioniPlayerBritish television’s greatest double actEric and Ernie share their remarkable journey through TV appearances, rare radio material and BBC archivesAttributioniPlayerMost Read1World’s largest cruise ship sets sail from Miami2Ex-minister of secretive sect admits child abuse3Dragons’ Den episode edited after ME complaints4UN agency condemns aid halt after Hamas attack claim5Post Office chairman asked to step down6Beauty giant Avon under fire over Russia links7My dad saved my club, now we’re playing Man Utd8Cuddly toy sellers chase an unlikely audience9Australian drill rap vs the police10’Rwandans get UK asylum’ and PM wants ‘Saga vote’](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/4C44/production/_132442591_autoveloxabbattutovilladelconte12.jpg)
