Summary: READ THIS BOOK FIRST BEFORE THE OTHERS!!
Review: "The Premature Menopause Book: When The Change Comes Too Early", should be the FIRST book you read if given the diagnosis of POF (or premature menopause). After my diagnosis of POF, I read any and all material I could find on menopause. All they did was confuse me! These other books were written for women in their late 40's to late 50's. I am 36! "The Premature Menopause Book: When The Change Comes To Early", is wonderful. It answers alot of questions and gives you support! I read this book before I went to my doctor to talk about HRT (hormone replacement therapy). I'm glad I did. I was better able to understand what my doctor was talking about, and I feel, make better decisions about HRT than if I had not read this book.I can't say enough about it. BUY IT!

Summary: this book is about my wife
Review: Actually, Iam writing to you, not Ron. My name is Carole, his wife. I ordered your book because I thought I was going through early menopause and after reading just a little of your book I feel like you were writing this book about me. It gives me great relief to know that my suspiscions about what I'm going through may be right. I'm not so much scared as I need to know what I'm feeling and going through is real. Especially the part about the night sweats. Just the other night I was so hot and I'd throw off the covers and then I'd be freezing. It's so hard to get a good nights sleep. I want to thank you for writing a book that is so easy to relate to.

Summary: Excellent
Review: For me POF means Plan On Fighting, and Kathryn P. is doing just that by putting together an excellent resource. I especially appreciated her mention of herbal remedies and nutritional recommendations, since such remedies have contributed to reclaiming my own fertility. I would've liked to have seen a more in-depth exploration of the factors responsible for bringing on early menopausal symptoms. Many of the women I have worked with in the last six years, have been able to reverse their diagnosis, and give birth to healthy children, after addressing the issues that initially triggered the problem. Some of these triggers were infectious diseases, environmental toxins, nutritional deficiencies, unresolved emotional traumas, etc. Although there is no guarantee that nutritional adjustments, lifestyle changes etc. will help us create a pregnancy there is overwhelming evidence that they will strengthen out bodies and ward of POF-related health concerns. I look forward to a more in-depth exploration of these options in Kathryn's next book.

Summary: Thank You, Kathy Petras!
Review: I am 34 and was diagnosed with Premature Medipause two weeks before I finally found this book. That was two weeks of Hell! I was depressed, confused and an emotional mess. I cried all the time. I thought I was going insane. Then I got this book. It truely explains not just the medical and physical traits of this condition, it also goes into the feeling of unexplainable loss. I felt like someone truely understood how I felt. The short statements from many other women with this rare condition were so helpful for me. These feeling are so hard to explain to family or friend. Thank you so much for writing this book.

Summary: Everything you need to know about premature menopause
Review: I read about this book in the paper and immediately ordered it. And it's great! It is packed with studies, information on HRT and risks, discussions about herbs and vitamins, the emotional problems we face and more, and includes lots of facts and studies I had never seen before. I've been doing research on this for a while and it has been difficult to find information on premature menopause. Thank you, Katherine Petras for pulling everything together and making this available! It was a real relief to find this book.

Review: I was so relieved to find this book I am 33 and have been in chemotherapy induced menopause since I was 25! I was never able to find any information about menopause for someone my age until now. After reading this book and discussing the issues with my physician, she was more than willing to make changes to my hormone replacement therapy, but she had never mentioned there were any other options besides premarin and provera before. If I hadn't read this book, I would have never known what to ask! Thanks again, Kathy! You are a blessing!

Summary: When Menopause Comes too Early
Review: Kathryn Petras' book The Premature Menopause Book is the only book out on book shelves that deals with this very importtant topic. As the founder and creator of HotFlash! the perimenopause/menopause web site and online support group I have interviewed Kathy and read her book. Her compassion and breath of knowledge is incredible. She has helped literally thousands of women through her book and drive to make this once unknown health challenge get the attention it deserves. In dealing with the media and in consulting with women, I have found that women AND men want to know all they can about perimenopause and menopause. While folks are still catching up on what menopause means to the average woman, Kathy has broken ground in talking about the health challenges, emotional struggles, and the reality of hitting menopause, (which traditionally occurs at age 51) while still being thirty or even twenty. Doctors are finding more and more women, each day, are in early or premature menopause. Thankfully Kathyrn Petras has written a compassionate and informative book to help all women who are faced with a premature menopause.

Summary: A "Must HAVE" book for woman of all ages.
Review: Kudos to Kathryn Petras for writing a book on a subject that is long overdue. This book holds a wealth of information pertaining to menopause which has, until now, been unobtainable. I'm 48, not necessarily Pre-Menopausal, but have been suffering from many of the symptoms Kathryn describes. My plan is to be tested, ASAP, in order to begin preventive treatment. This book was fantastic and I am rushing a copy to my girlfriend in Westchester who may have been suffering of premature menopause for years. The doctors do not take her seriously. At any rate, BUY THIS BOOK. Finally, the truth about menopause has been revealed as well as many ways to treat and/or deal with it. THANK YOU, KATHRYN PETRAS!!!
