Menopause for Dummies

Summary: Sorry, I'm no dummy!
Review: Gosh, I hate the word DUMMIES. The information in this book is basic but is written in a bit of a condescending manner. The delivery is often simplistic, if not silly. (For example, they say my ovaries were dozing and asleep. That's why my period was late some months. Silly.) The Dummies book reminds me of how a mother might explain something to a little kid. (Gee, I hate that word Dummies.) I am sure it is a coincidence that two similar books came out the same month, but of the two, I much prefer The Menopause Survival Guide by Donna Rogers, which I purchased. In that book, the information is delivered like two adult women were sitting around talking about menopause, and one is explaining to the other what is actually going on in their bodies.

Summary: excellent resource for treatment options info
Review: I bought another book that gave a thorough explanation about menopause and it's symptoms, but this book did an excellent job of covering the many treatment options available. The alternative treatments were covered in this book better than any other information I have read. In spite of all the menopause treatment web sites, books, & articles I have been reading for 2 years, I was not aware of the effects phytoestrogens have on women who have not had a hysterectomy. This is something more women need to be aware of!

Summary: Feelin' hot, hot, hot!
Review: I'll be the first to admit that I'm a dummy when it comes to Menopause. When my wife's libido went spiraling downward, and she started sweating profusely (watching TV), and her mood changed from one second to the next, I started to grow suspicious -- could my wife have Menopause?

At first, I didn't know how people got Menopause. All I knew was that it was not geographically biased and that it primarily affected women. Without a proper medical diagnosis, I was hesitant to tell my wife that I thought she had Menopause. I had to get my facts straight. I needed a book that was going to tell me everything I needed to know about Menopause. A book that could confirm my suspicions and help my wife onto the road to recovery.

"Menopause for Dummies®" provides a fascinating examination of menopause's range of symptoms and treatments. This comforting book reassures you that you are not alone - there are hundreds of people in the world that suffer from this same condition - and there is help. Hormone therapy, herbal elixirs, and good old rest and relaxation are just a few of the ways that can help you deal with Menopause. In no time, you'll be back to living a long, healthy, regularly occurring menstrual-cycle lifestyle.

After reading "Menopause for Dummies®" I learned everything I wanted to know (and a few things I didn't) about Menopause. I'm confident, that if I ever get Menopause, I'll know how to treat it in a safe and rational way.

And you will too.

Summary: Menopause for Dummies
Review: This book helped explain the mysteries of the process my mother is going through right now and what I will go through in the future. It was helpful knowing that there are alternatives to hormone therapy and also measures I can take to help prepare me for Menopause. The author did a great job of eplaining the important information in terms that I could understand and remember. I like that there was humor placed at important parts to help reiterate the fact that this process isn't the end of the world and won't have to be as bad as some people make it sound.
