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.

This is the only book on menopausal symptoms I've read that accurately and precisely spoke about my particular issues. For example, I was having something the author calls "brain static," which for me was like having an electrical current run through my head, keeping me up at nights. After many tests, including a CAT scan, my doctor chalked it all up to stress. Not until I read Lonnie Barbach's book did I realize that brain static is a rather uncommon symptom, but one that other women have experienced. In addition, I also felt comforted to know that the changes in my body odor and breath were also quite common menopausal symptoms. The beauty of her book is that she lists so many other symptoms and signals of changes that are all too easily dismisssed as being oversensitive or just getting older. My own doctor, who is also a woman, wasn't even aware of some of these physiological changes. It has been my experience that most doctors are only aware of the most common symptoms of peri-menopause or menopause - hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, headaches and mood swings. This book, in my opinion, covers it ALL and helped me understand that not every woman experiences menopausal symptoms in the same way and that there really isn't a one-size fits all type of treatment. After reading her book, I felt like someone finally recognized and understood what I was going through. It was comforting to know that I am not the only woman on the planet having some specific symptoms and reactions to hormonal changes in my body! After months of anxiety and even embarrassment about my physical and emotional state, I felt completely vindicated. This book is easy to read, lists the symptoms in a clear, matter-of-fact way, including examples from many women, and gives clear information about the many options available for treatment. It is compehensive and written by someone who has been there!

I enjoyed reading this book. I just turned 40 and am having some of the symptoms described in the book. It was reassuring to read that I am not crazy! I feel like I can handle what is to come in the future.

I have recommended this book to all of my friends and sister. My husband is currently reading the book. It is my opinion that all husbands should read it!

I slept with this book and 3 ice packs every night. I was so worried about my symptoms until I read the book over and over. I have told every friend to get this book
