@adoran2 Sounds like an excellent book. Good on you and your friends for reading. The worst thing that happened to me during menopause was that my brain turned to mush. I felt utterly dumb. For example, on a good day before and after that time I could recall the first 6 or so digits of a phone number someone recited. In that time I could recall only the first digit. I did stupid things like putting petrol instead of mix into a weedeater (twice), which blew it up. Sooooo glad that time's over now.
