      Grumpy Old Menopause by Carol E. Wyer is a 2013 Safkhat Select publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Grumpy Old Menopause is a non-fiction humorous look at menopause with some really solid advice included. Carol goes through the ABC's of Menopause suggesting there are certain things better kept from women during this phase in their lives. "Trusting a menopausal woman to control her emotions is like trusting a tornado to mow your lawn" This book is full of these jokes and one liners that will have you laughing out loud. However, there are some remedies and practical advice about how to deal with all the annoying symptoms of menopause. The author did a great job of taking a subject that could make some a bit uncomfortable and turning it into a fun way of giving advice and information. If you are currently going through menopause you will relate to all of this and find the book to be an uplifting experience that will help put it all into perpective. Carol's most important advice is to laugh and when you read this book, you will laugh, for sure. Menopause can be a challenging time in a woman's life and not only to her, but to her family and friends and co- workers as well. So, even if you aren't going through menopause yourself, this book would still be recommended reading to anyone male or female that is also experiencing menopause from the outside looking in. This book would explain a lot of the symptoms to family and friends and give them insights into menopause in a way that is not boring or pull of medical jargon. Carol is an inspiration and a really nice lady. I enjoyed getting to know her when I reviewed another one of her books and she did an interview for me. I love her outlook on life and appreciate all the information provided in this book and for all the great jokes and humor. This one is an A+
    • 4/5
      You know this book was gifted but that does not alter my opinion. As a woman of a certain age I identified with pretty much most of the topics mentioned. We are all different and we all pass through this phase at varying degrees. I think I have been quite lucky really. Night sweats? Not so much. Flush/flashes - yes, but not all the time. Moods - definitely, but, my long suffering family will vouch for me here - I have come through the other side and I am 'normal' (whatever that is) again.I digress so back to the book. There is a lot of humour in there, a great aid at this time of life. The best jokes are in the chapter headed C, after that they are dare I say, cringe-worthy but will raise a smile and a 'titter'. Each chapter is headed with a letter and runs from A-Z skipping the odd letter or two. Letter A focuses on emotions and is spot on as far as I was concerned. This chapter also mentions alternative medicines and therapies which are certainly worth looking into, even my GP suggested I read up on those. Sage tea is my fall back but it isn't to everyone's taste. Health issues are mentioned under letter B such as breast pain, brittle bones. C mentions concentration or should I say lack of it. Now you get my gist, I am not going to spoil things by listing everything in Carol's book but you have an idea of where this is going. However, it isn't just about physical or psychological issues, Carol suggests some unusual and dare I say, more sensible hobbies for the middle aged menopausal woman. Now the pilates, yoga, blogging, photography suggestions suit me but for the more adventurous - skydiving, breeding alpacas and bareback riding may suit.I highly recommend this book for women entering menopause or peri-menopause. My symptoms particularly anxiety and mood swings started in that earlier stage. This is also a stage of life where you may be in a demanding role at work, a sandwich (looking after children and ageing parents), amongst other worries. No wonder this phase takes its toll. Great advice written with great humour.
