A Must Have Resource for Women, 2007-01-06
This book was extremely helpful for me in making the decision to proceed with a hysterectomy. Since my surgery, I have referred to this book countless times. I truly don't believe any woman should undergo a hysterectomy without the benefit of this informative resource. I found the book easy to read and understand. More importantly, the book assures its readers that life will go on after a hysterectomy and that there are many options available for women to help them feel better, stronger and live longer, healthier lives.

"Gift of Hope" , 2006-01-23
In "Sudden Menopause," Debbie DeAngelo educates women with a clear and comprehensive understanding of what sudden menopause means exactly, while offering a supportive guide to navigating themselves toward a healthy lifestyle.
Debbie also offers women various coping strategies regarding some of the changes related to sudden menopause. In particular, Chapter 5: "Making It Through the Maze of Dietary Supplements," provides women with an array of knowledge about nutrional supplements.
Because of Debbie's expertise and knowledge regarding sudden menopause, I have had no doubts referring my family and friends to her. Why keep a good thing a secret? Right? Besides Debbie truly has given women a "Gift of Hope" -- go ahead, share it with others.

A book every woman should read, 2006-01-07
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 which made my body go into sudden menopause . I had been suffering with early menopausal symptoms night sweats for a couple of years. This is a terrific book it also gives you information on how to talk to your doctor, nutrition and weight management, keeping your heart healthy,and insight on vitamins, herbs, and supplements. The writer is a person who has been there herself and is always willing to share with other women her thoughts ,information and support they need to adjust to the impact it has on their lives.
There are a lot of books printed each day about menopause but this one is the best it gives you a personal and professional point of view. I highly recommend every women should read it from cover to cover. The information I found inside helped me get through my cancer treatments and as of this year I am a 13 year survivor. This is a book that you can always use as a reference material for medical information at anytime. From begining to end the reader can navigate easily from each chapter to the next. I enjoyed the book very much and learned a lot and would hope that other women would do the same.

Sudden Menopause - nothing new here, 2004-09-15
This book is no different than any other book on the subject of menopause except that it informs you that if you have sudden menopause the symptoms appear at once instead of gradually. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out! In sudden meopause you experience the symptoms immediately instead of over a period of years and the solutions to dealing with the symptoms are the same whether menopause is sudden or gradual. Do not waste your money if you have read any other book on the subject of menopause because you will not learn anything new.
