Perimenopause, Menopause...both crazy times, but this book helps with humor and helpful information. by Andrea L. Polk (Southern Oregon)

The fact is I'm 41, exhausted, can't remember diddly, sweat buckets all the time, and could chomp the heads of small children at a Christmas play, but reading this book made me laugh and realize that I am not alone! I picked this book up at a local seller after opening it up and reading the title of Chapter 8: "Mental Issues Are Important- If You Can Remember Them". In the past year it's all I can do to remember where I'm going when I get into my car, so this hit home. The book is written in a light, humorous way, but offers good insight into the 'why' perimenopausal and menopausal women feel the way they do. It also offers hope and suggestions for correcting or at least dealing with things such as a loss in libido and forgetfulness. The book also talks about the importance of expercise for our brains and bodies, and how certain toxins can impair our brains even further. Lots of good, relevant information about how hormones effect our bodies and brains, as well as explanations of specific syndromes and therapies are also in the book. Nothing is overly clinical, so it's easily understood. Filled with encouraging words, this book is a great gift for a friend or to give to yourself. It's also a good book to share with your mate...if you can remember where you put it!

A friend of mine told me about this book and I was interested right away, since I'm facing "the change." I was laughing from page one, and literally had tears streaming down my face at other times during the read. What a fun and inspirational way to look at a part of life that can certainly be anything but! I especially liked the chapter on sex. Bravo! I have since recommended the book to several other friends. If you have a girlfriend facing (or in the midst of) menopause, don't hesitate to buy her this book!
