Mar 05, Anasheh Satoorian rated it really liked it. I was worried that I would not be able to relate to it and give the book its due credit But alas as this is a real issue in women's health and as someone who has dedicated my life to helping others, I decided to give it a try. I figured even if I could not relate to the topic currently I thought maybe I would learn something to better help future patients who may be having a difficult time dealing with menopause.
But I have to admit that regardless of my initial doubts, I really enjoyed this book. They say that humor is sometimes the best way to deal with a difficult situation and this book was a great example of the healing powers of laughter. This book had me laughing from page one. It is decided in alphabetical order with different issues that arise during menopause.
