Author: Lilah Borden
Book Description: Follow Along as We Take a Serious Look - See How YOU Can Use This Handbook to Conquer Menopause Once and For All! Are you sick and tired of all the jokes about menopause? Unless you've suffered the symptoms you just don't "get it."
Do you ever wonder why it can be so hard to handle? You try everything out there and nothing seems to really work."
Part of the problem is that many of the so-called self-help books are written by women who haven't reached that stage in their lives. Or, heaven forbid, are written by men! Doctors, perhaps, but men nevertheless.
Until there is a man who can suffer from hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause it's probably a good idea to take what they say with a grain of salt!
It's time to stop trying to force a round peg into a square hole. Contrary to popular belief, not all women suffer equally from the side effects of menopause. What a concept! Women aren't all alike. Imagine that!
Having as much information available on the subject can help you gain confidence, support and understanding about how to cope with your menopausal symptoms.
Much of the information we have been taught is outdated and downright mythical. Hard as it is to believe, there are people who think that menopause marks the end of a sex life, causes memory problems and that it is actually a disease! Finally, there is a self-help tutorial written by a woman for women in the hope that this information will give women a better understanding of menopause.
There are other outdated, archaic beliefs as well. These, as well as other much needed information can be found in Your Menopause Handbook - A Self Help Guide for Healthy Living.

About The AuthorLilah BordenLilah Borden has found that many women have more trouble than they should when they approach and experience menopause because of their lack of knowledge and preparation. She believes that even more problems and distress are the result of the lack of support that many women get from colleagues and, especially, their partners and other close members of their families. Because the effects and experiences of different women can vary greatly as they go through menopause, many incomplete or inaccurate "facts" are circulated. Lilah hopes that this ebook will help to give every woman that reads it more confidence to make their experience better. She also believes that putting as much information as she could gather in the book will help all readers to make better choices and help give them the confidence to get support and understanding from their families and friends.
