Out today from Dr. Lisa Mosconi: The Menopause Brain. It’s a reexamination of menopause and perimenopause through the lens of neuroscience. Mosconi calls it “a scientist’s love letter to womanhood”.

Menopause is awesome.
I'll check out this book to see if there's any real solutions to menopause-induced insomnia. Improved sleep hygiene is no match for menopause. I can't remember the last time I got a solid 8 hours of sleep.
Oh yes! Sleep was horrible horrible and I got no real help from doctors. Started HRT 2-3 years ago (was 5 or so years into the big M) and I was finally able to sleep (my joints felt better (didn't realize they slid into a place needing improvement), no more night sweats, and skin isn't so dry anymore). Chemo and a Lupron shot at age 45 killed my cycle; I had a menopause experience compressed into about 3 months during chemo. I do not recommend this experience.
I'm going to order this book, looks really good.
A gentle reminder that Bookshop is a great alternative for physical book purchases. Here's the listing they have.
