Our bodies haven't read the text books. Yes, it's natural and it often feels like hell. For those women who've been fortunate enough to sail through an easy menopause, fine. For many women, however, it's one of the most, if not THE most grueling, emotionally, spiritually and physically debilitating 5-15 years of our life. The first thing perimenopaual women need to remind themselves is that after years of demonstrating to the immediate world that they're superwomen, it's okay to shed that costume, to express the fears and confusion they're feeling.
Political correctness is the last thing a menopausal woman needs to be concerned about.
There are no martyrs in Power Surge . . . There are no panaceas for menopausal complaints. Hormone replacement therapy is not a magical answer to all menopause's issues. It works for some. It doesn't work for others.
