Middle Age Madness: My Menopause Diary

by Sarah Stenton

The menopause hit me like a sledge hammer. As I shrivelled up and wondered where on earth the confident, capable woman I used to be had gone, I started my popular Facebook diary, expressing my outrage at the indignity of it all. It’s a raw, honest, poignant and very, very funny account of the havoc middle age can wreck on us, and is suitable for men as well as women. You are not alone, you are not going mad and you can laugh (through crossed legs) about the menopause.

My friend bought me this book for my birthday as she had been following the author online and thought I would appreciate it!

It was a funny, quirky light-hearted read but does touch on the madness of the menopause and the impact it can have.

Well worth a read so you know you are not alone.

Lent to me by my line manager after a tricky start to the new summer term.
Laughed out loud mostly at the farting. I'm not alone. Haha. Definitely a good read for those about to, starting or possibly in full bastarding menopausal flow. I'm hoping to make it out the other side still laughing!

Brilliant. Real. Truthful. Honest. Hilarious. THANK YOU!

I have followed the author Sarah on FB for a while. I said brilliant, real, truthful, honest and hilarious because that sums it up. Quite frankly, a copy of this should be in every GP surgery because this is exactly how real women feel and often find hard to communicate not only with medical professionals but partners, family and anyone else who might encounter the sorts of symptoms mentioned........beware of the phantom flatulence offenders in every supermarket now it's a fashion 😉!
