Title: Recommended good reads for menopause advice/info??
Post by: Foxylady on June 07, 2019, 03:05:20 PM: Just finished Kathy Abernethy's book Menopause the one stop guide. :) I found it very helpful and easy to read. Anyone else recommend any books to those of us new to it all? :-\

A 100 have gone to Australian the other week, & GPs & Gynaes have messaged me saying well done much needed, and all medics need to read it.

So I have done what I set out to do & got a conversation going.

10 is a lot CKLD. Thank you for being a â€œ spreaderâ€ of the VA movement. 🤣💐

Read the menopausal vagina few weeks ago, already passed it on to someone else, again great read every woman should read it!! x

I'm glad to hear that Louise Newson's book is helpful. Does it give much info on HRT? The books I've read on menopause all seem to say much the same, and the info on HRT is very basic. 🙁

I can recommend Â« New Natural Alternatives to hrt Â» by Marilyn Glenville. You can get online for around Â£2 if that's of interest. X

Post by: Foxylady on September 01, 2019, 06:12:45 PM: Hi Harmony, a full chapter on HRT (18 pages), covers HRT: what you need to know, benefits, risks, side effects to expect, body-identical or bioidentical HRT & Testosterone. I found it quite comprehensive. I got it from Haynes the publisher was much cheaper than Amazon and no p&p!! x
