Book Cover & Preview Text
We heard clients telling us that they had used a number of approaches to help, such as counselling, prescribed drugs, herbs, oils, as well as some very New Age approaches. It started to occur to us that different people had different needs and not everything worked for everyone. The main effects for women were mood swings, fatigue, memory loss/confusion, hot sweat/flushes and irregular, erratic bleeding and loss of confidence. Then the magic time hit Chris and I, with Chris being peri -menopausal and me menopausal. For me this has been a roller coaster ride of HRT, (which I had to stop on medical grounds), complimentary therapies and various herbs and concoctions, even the menopause cake! I have felt unclean being so hot and sweaty while trying to do my job. I have suffered dehydration on a hot day due to sweating so much. I have forgotten things, lost concentration in the middle of training people and could not remember what I was talking about. I can lose confidence and feel anxious for no reason what so ever. Chris has started to notice things happening to her, mainly erratic menstruation, tiredness and memory failure. At least we laugh about having a brain between us!
