Good, but out of date by Katie Fitzgerald (Felton, CA United States)  3 Stars
August 01, 2009
The Pause is an easy, informative read if you're interested in finding out what perimenopause might have in store for you. Many recent complaints I have are related to perimenopause, and I hadn't been aware of the connection. However, if you're looking for information on how to treat or alleviate symptoms, skip this book. This book hasn't been updated since 2000. In light of all the new information in the last few years regarding the problems with hormone therapy, this book is very out of date.

very good...thorough book. I especially enjoyed the section devoted to men...I think it will make guys think and be more sensitive to what's happening to women during this time.

Indispensible! by Michelle N (New Jersey)  5 Stars
June 27, 2009
I am 52 and have owned this book for years. Every time I experience a new symptom (heartburn, night sweats, PMS, fatigue, bad breath, etc.), I reach for it. Premenopause hasn't been particularly easy for me, but at least this book helps me understand that most of my symptoms are normal. This knowledge provides me with a great deal of comfort. I have recommended this book to all of my friends.

Another Medical Interventionist Approach for a Natural Process by Christi Dant (Severna Park, MD)  2 Stars
June 03, 2009
The book started off on a high note for me, describing the how's and why's of the Pause (Ms. Barbach's coined term for perimenopause). I certainly appreciated hearing about the wide constellation of symptoms and how they are attributable to the Pause / hormonal fluctuations.
The author's personal journey visiting what seemed like countless health care providers without even one of them considering that the symptoms were likely a result of natural processes at work mirrors my own. We are conditioned to be fearful of changes in our body, and medical providers are all too eager to order a barrage of expensive tests focused on discreet symptoms rather than looking holistically at the human body and where that body is on the journey.
Then Ms. Barbach falls into that very trap of viewing the Pause as a medical illness that MUST MUST MUST be treated. Yes, I agree a small percentage of women have symptoms so extreme, they do need medical intervention. For a vast majority however, we'll get through with a little help from our friends and some knowledge and understanding. Instead, Ms. Barbach offer a mind bending, enormous, and confusing array of remedies. I can't get a doctor to spend more than 5 minutes in a room with me let alone find one who could spend 5 hours a week monitoring my hormones and fine-tuning all these potential remedies.
I'd like to find support for this journey that doesn't focus primarily on doctors, drugs, practitioners, pharmaceuticals, herbs, and homeopathic remedies (spending $$$). I manage my symptoms by respecting my body and feeding it untainted, non-hormonally supplemented proteins, organic fruits, veggies, and nuts and with LOTS and LOTS of exercise. Very disappointing to see yet another woman hawking products and making a natural process seem like a system failure.

Great Book by Mrs Jekyll (Florida) 5 Stars
September 20, 2008
This book is one of three I have found to help me understand and deal with perimenopause. The others are The Hormonal Survival Guide for Perimenopause by Nisha Jackson, and Yoga and the Wisdom of Menopause by Suza Francina.
