There's all kinds of books out there on everything. It seems to be a rare book that you see on menopause information.

An ideal book would be on what perimenopause is and remedies for helping calm down some of the problems most of us have. This book would sell like wild fire.

Some of friends don't have the foggies idea what is happening to them and what do about it if they do.

It is so disheartening that when all these symptoms apprear, there is such lack of information to show us where and how to get relief.
I'd be the first one to pick up my copy!

Have you tried Julia Chang's website sensiblehealth.com? This is my first month to try the Chinese tinctures. I have noticed some changes already, like I can go almost all day without my stomach growling and not eating and still have plenty of energy. But my cycles are still too close together and I am still having very uncomfortable breast tenderness prior to my cycle. I don't remember when I have slept through the night without having to get up several times. Some of her tinctures are reported to help some folks with this problem. Hasn't happended to me yet - may need more time. Have already read several books on menopause - What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, and others. Julia Chang's info is new to me. I was thinking it needed to be compiled into some sort of book format. Maybe the two of you could collaborate.

Would you believe I'm 55 and still in perimenopause and in a major depression. I have a family history of Depression and was told that women who have previously had a bout with Depression (and
I have)could go into a major Depression with perimenopause. To make a long story short, I am on prozac and the pill to regulate my harmones which are all over the place right now. So this is a good combination of predicaments. It's been terrible, but I am being helped and I believe in Prozac completely, side effects or not I'd rather deal with them. It works for me. This is not a good quality of life to live this way. And I share my situation with as many people as I can, you wouldn't believe how this helps someone with depression. I have a wonderful husband and a terrific identical twin sister, both have been my "rocks" through all this!

I was thinking of writing a book about this after I feel better, but I encourage you to do it, since you have the expertise. We are not alone and I think a lot of women have to know this.

Good Luck!

OMG.......I suffered with so many symptoms during perimenopause. I was desperate to find an answer, I researched every article I could find on the web. I told my dr to use me as a guinea pig and do anything he had to do to get me back to feeling like me again. He decided to put me on Ortho Evra and wellbutrin. My life is back to normal again. I don't go through the ups and downs every month. I absolutely have no more symtoms during what should be my pms time. I recommend every woman who is desperate with pms symtoms to talk to their dr and request both Ortho Evra and Wellbutrin. I am amazed by the results!!!!!!!!!!
