Menopause has been awash with a vast collection of physical symptoms that have been minutely dissected, intensely studied and written about with a complexity not always experienced, enjoyed or understood.

Every body experiencing the change has a symptom ranging from a swollen stomach to extinguished sexual interest. With each challenge comes a unique prescription to correspond with the often verbalized but not always understood physiological reasons for malfunction.

An array of highly descriptive morning tea conversations have developed out of the new openness to discuss every response to the process of change. There seems to be a growing need to present each experience as unique and different as possible and almost defying medical definition.

It seems that no lady will listen to or take advice from another because her symptoms are so special. This is the other side to Gods healing processes. Its the beginning of confused, fragmented unusual stories that teach nobody anything.

The owner of the experience is more inclined to purchase a book with her symptom in writing. It doesnt even need to include a whole chapter. A paragraph recognizing the problem is sufficient. This is the beginning of a vast research program purchasing as much information as possible and satisfying the need of the thoughtless authors.
