The Emotional Rollercoaster of Menopause

[Tuckervill]

Oprah's been doing a few shows about hormones and etc. I like Christiane Northrop's book, The Wisdom of Menopause. Robin McGraw (Dr. Phil's wife) recently wrote a book about it, too (thus the reason for the Oprah episode). You can get some recommendations on Oprah's website. Say what you want about Oprah, I'm a big believer in getting information from many different sources. This source seems to be very pro-woman, pro-being an informed consumer of health care. It's a good perspective.

I also have this book, recommended by my doctor:
Is It Hot In Here? I think it was recommended by her more because it is her friend that wrote it, but still, it's a good basic book about menopause. I also have a book called The Change Before the Change, which I read about 5 years ago, so I can't remember much right now. It as helpful for identifying those early early perimenopausal changes that I might not have noticed otherwise.
