Synopsis

Do they call menopause "the change" because...

• You have to change shirts three times a day-after you've sweat through them?
• You have to change addresses, just to avoid all that mail from the AARP?
• You have to change your diet to nothing but milk and broccoli―just to get your RDA of calcium?

With hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats (oh, my!), menopause might not be your favorite phase of life. However, bestselling author Joanne Kimes is here to provide relief as welcome as hand-held fans and sweat-free sheets. In her signature, no-holds-barred style, Kimes dishes on:

• Dealing with a rollercoaster of emotions
• Anecdotes, remedies, and gentle tips to help you cope with all the physical changes you're facing
• How to enjoy menopausal sex

Menopause brings about a whirlwind of emotional and physical transformations. Menopause Sucks gives you all the info―and belly laughs―you need to cool down during this hot change of life.

About this title

Synopsis

Welcome to the wonderful world of hormones. "Menopause Sucks" follows a woman's trajectory from peri/premenopause, through the physical, emotional, and mental changes she'll encounter on her way to becoming post-menopausal; it will end with the arrival of the woman squarely beyond menopause with all her faculties (and family) intact.Kimes and Ambrose share with readers that just because menopause is a necessary and natural period in a woman's life, it doesn't mean that she has to take it lying down. It's the dash of empathy that women could use to help them through this most trying of times.
