Go ahead, Gary.

Yeah.

Because I want to just, you know, expand just a little bit.

And I think what we'll wind up talking about most is not so much the signs of menopause, which is when

woman ceases to have menses, but it's the symptoms of menopause that seem to be front and foremost from a medical management thing is that a number of the symptoms, in particular these

what's called the vasomotor symptoms.

I think most people know them as hot flashes, you know, overall, but they're, I think the other, the other piece that I just want to add to is not only is there this range, you know, Robin, as you pointed out, you know, 40 or earlier.

And I can tell you from experience, not, not me, but that that,

the symptoms can go beyond 70.

It's just such a wide range.

In the same way, the symptoms have a very wide range.

And the number of treatments to address some of those symptoms is a very, very long list.

And so I think the takeaway for me is this is such an individual situation that needs to be understood.

And I'm sort of, as a sidebar, interested to hear about

the role that you've been able to play with the informatics piece and its impact on menopause.

So I'll just kind of plant a few stakes in the ground over there for some of our discussion, because I think that will...

you know, help because I think there is a big lack of education about, about menopause, its meaning, its importance, its significance, et cetera.

So with those, with those few thoughts, I'm going to be quiet again.

Thank you for calling on me.

No, I mean, I think what's really important here, and I kind of missed it in thinking about informatics, but I just think about, I don't want to make menopause is not a chronic disease.
