From the Publisher
Who Needs To Know About Menopause? Women who have gone through it, women who will go through it, and women who are going through it now! Menopause isn't a disease. It's just a strange time of life most women have to go through. THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE will help you survive this weird stage of life. Donna Rogers became the author of THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE out of necessity. When she was unable to find easy-to-understand information about menopause, she began to do her own research....in printed media, on the internet, and by talking with hundreds of other Change of Lifers. This twelve years of research culminated in the writing of THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE, a comprehensive discussion of medical issues written in real-woman language. Women feel comfortable reading this book. Because it's written by a REAL woman who has actually experienced menopause. And because her writing style makes the reader feel like the author is talking with you, one-on-one. Donna Rogers has dealt with nearly every topic of interest to menopausal women, including perimenopause, post-menopause, hormones, changes in menstrual cycles, breast/uterine cancer, heart disease/stroke, mood changes, osteoporosis, memory loss, hot flashes, sex, skin changes, diet/exercise, premature or induced menopause, and the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy and herbal remedies. From birth through menopause, the author explains the Estrogen Effect in user-friendly terms. And she offers common sense approaches to dealing with menopause. The information is factual without being depressing. Donna Rogers also considered the families of Change of Lifers and wrote special chapters for them: "Surviving the Change of Wife" (for husbands), "Meno Moms" (for kids), and "Male Menopause" (yes, it really exists!) You will learn from, and recommend, THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE!
From the Author
Hello! I'm Donna Rogers, the author of THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE. Like most women, when I first began the menopausal process, I had little idea what was actually going on in my body, so I decided it was time to learn more about menopause. I read everything I could and talked to hundreds of other Change of Lifers. What I discovered is that there is a lot of confusing information out there. About HRT, herbals, hysterectomy, and so much more. I was encouraged to share the results of my twelve years of research and to put it in real-woman language, not confusing medical lingo. I also included some real-life experiences from women who have been there. (Who knows about menopause better than a menopausal woman?!) And there are even chapters for husbands and children of menopausal women. The "Table of Contents" link will show you the subjects discussed in THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE. I wanted to make this a concise, one-stop book about menopause: not a replacement for regular medical advice from your physician, but a very useful resource guide. If even one woman is helped by reading my book, then I will consider it a success. Thanks for your interest in THE MENOPAUSE SURVIVAL GUIDE. Blessings! Donna

Probably the BEST book about Menopause I have read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Menopause Survival Guide: Surviving the Change of Life (Paperback)
Of all the menopause books out there, this is the easiest to read. The medical facts are laid out, plain and simple. Every topic is discussed factually but in a very down-to-earth way, and I do mean EVERY topic. Donna Rogers left no stone unturned. And she has such common sense ways to deal with hot flashes, lost memory and everything else that "changes" during menopause. I think it was a very good idea to have chapters for husbands and children, too, because, as the author says, they go through menopause right along with women. The Top Ten Reasons were fun. And the glossary has been very helpful. This book isn't fluffy or silly, and it isn't dry and boring. It's JUST RIGHT!

A Must For Every Menopausal Woman,
By Casey (St. Louis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Menopause Survival Guide: Surviving the Change of Life (Paperback)
I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Rogers at a woman's show in St. Louis in February 2003 at which time I purchased her book. The reason the information in the book is so helpful is because Mrs. Rogers explains menopause in such a woman to woman way. Golly, I didn't even know the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause let alone all the symptoms that I have (and will) experience. I was surprised in the review by razzjones who said it didn't answer any of her questions. She must not have read this book because it answered ALL my questions and then some. This is a fantastic guidebook that I'm using now, and that I'll refer to in the future.

Midlife Perils,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Menopause Survival Guide: Surviving the Change of Life (Paperback)
This book takes you through the stages of life, from early teens to grandparenthood. I found the book to be informative, humorous, and obviously written by someone who has lived to tell about it. I highly recommend this book as a survival guide for those approaching midlife or who loves someone who is.
