[.ca] Sudden Menopause: Restoring Health and Emotional Well-Being (ISBN 0897933257)

This is a must read!:
This book is jam packed with helpful information for any woman. It is an easy, informative read. I especially like the doc talk section following each chapter. Hats off to Debbie DeAngelo for writing a clear, concise book on menopause.

Questions finally answered:
After having a hysterectomy with removal of my ovaries, I was unprepared for being thrown into menopause at such a young age - I am only 25. I was searching for answers and getting very little direction from my health care professional. Thank God I stumbled across Sudden Menopause by Debbie DeAngelo. I find this book to be extremely beneficial. The aspects I found most useful are the case histories and the coping strategies. After reading the case histories, I realized that I wasn't alone in what I was feeling and experiencing and the coping strategies are helpful in managing my symptoms. I also learned from reading this book that I am at a risk for osteoporosis as well as heart disease even though I am so young. It is obvious that this book was written by a woman who has been through sudden menopause and is concerned with helping other women to cope.

Don't Be Misled - This Book is for EVERY Woman:
I got this book because someone close to me was forced to undergo a hysterectomy at a very young age. Upon reading it, however, I discovered that I could learn as much from it as could any menopausal woman. The author includes a great deal of information that is useful for all women, everything from ways to address dry skin to nutritional concerns to infections. She offers non-traditional ways to address problems that women can try themselves, rather than just resorting prescriptions (although she does provide information on those). She includes "coping strategies" for the problems she identifies, and ends each chapter with bullet points from the chapter, which makes the material much easier to digest. She also ends the chapters with points to talk about with your doctor. Women who read this book will not only get health information but also tips on taking charge of their own health, and will no longer be satisfied with a doctor's dismissal of their very real conditions and concerns -- that might be the best result of all. I have recommended this book to every woman I know. Turns out that buying a book for someone else was really buying a book for myself!

A must have for all......:
This book was a life saver - I have been looking for a book like this for a long time. I had a complete hysterectomy at 28 and couldn't find much to help me along with the sudden Menopause - this bok has explained so much - now I don't have to think I lost my mind - I realized I'm not alone in this and there a reason for what is happening to me not just "it will pass". I've recommended this book for friends who are still too be going through Menopause but will be someday and need to prepare - this book is a great way to do that.
