Summary

Night sweats, mood swings, weight gain--the menopause can be a challenging time, leaving us feeling isolated and as if we’re losing touch with ourselves. But you are not alone--Making Friends with the Menopause is here to help.

From best-selling author Sarah Rayner, with Dr. Patrick Fitzgerald, comes a clear and comforting guide to the menopause that sounds like a chat with a good friend. Written with warmth and humor, and packed with practical, bite-size tips from women experiencing menopause themselves, as well as essential insights from Dr. Patrick, this life-changing little handbook includes:

  • Comprehensive guidance on the range of treatments available including traditional and complementary medicine.
  • Tried and tested tips to alleviate the symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, insomnia, forgetfulness, and rising anxiety.
  • How to deal with the psychological impact of hormonal changes and lift your self-esteem.
  • Suggestions for your sex life and how to talk to your partner about the change you’re going through.
  • How to find the joy in this period and focus more on yourself and your own well-being.

If you’re struggling with the symptoms of menopause, simply want to take care of yourself well, or looking for support from a friend who knows exactly how you feel, Making Friends with the Menopause will be your guide. It will give you the understanding and confidence you need to navigate this profound change and fully embrace this new chapter of your life with open arms.

Making Friends

Book has helped me prior to doctors appointment.
Feel that many of the ladies quoted lead a very different life to my own so not overly relatable.

Great to know that you aren't alone.

You hear about the menopause as you go through your 30’s onwards and everyone has an opinion, a joke or a wise crack. But when it hits you in your late 40’s onwards and you start to forget the most simple of things, you can become quite concerned.
These types of audiobooks are a relief, we are now talking about all those rubbish things that we as women are going through on a daily basis.

I particularly liked the excerpts from other women talking about their experiences. A few times I was listening and I shouted ‘Yes’!

Such a relief to know I am not losing the plot and yes it’s ok to put my car keys in the fridge occasionally!

Well worth a listen if you are going down the long road of the menopause. I honestly found comfort.
