Here at last is the real lowdown on estrogen slowdown -- a witty, warm, candid journey through menopause, filled with the latest medical information, written with humor and sensitivity by a woman who knows her way around a hot flash.

Since Gayle Sand had her first hot flash in L.A., where menopause is considered a terminal illness, she has sampled treatments from age-old to New Age and has seen more gynecologists and climbed into more stirrups than Dale Evans and Roy Rogers combined. In Is It Hot In Here or Is It Me? she shares her experiences, no holds barred, and delivers an up-to-date, down-to-earth, intimate firsthand account of the facts, the fads, the ups, the downs, the emotion and commotion of menopause. From the effects menopause can have on relationships and ego to an effortless education on hormone therapy, alternative treatments, nutrition, and postmenopausal health concerns such as osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease, Sand covers it all with humor and heart in this must-read book for women -- and the men in their lives.

About the Author:

Gayle Sand has been a columnist, restaurant critic, and editor-at-large for a Florida newspaper. She lives in St. Augustine, Florida, and New York City. This is her first menopause.

From Library Journal:
The books on menopause keep coming! These two new offerings approach the subject from different viewpoints, but both convey basic information. Is It Hot in Here... is Sand's personal account of her menopausal transition. Using a humorous approach, she discusses her experiences with hot flashes, finding the right physician, interpersonal relationships, and hormone replacement therapy. Although this book may validate some women's feelings, there is nothing new here. Not a necessary purchase. The first in a series of women's health books from Hyperion, A Woman Doctor's Guide to Menopause covers the basic facts about hormones, osteoporosis, heart disease, exercise, and nutrition from a medical point of view. It also has a glossary of medical terms, an agency referral list, and a list of necessary medical tests. Coverage is similar to that in Ruth Jacobowitz's 150 Most Asked Questions About Menopause (Hearst, 1992) and Sadja Greenwood's Updated Menopause Naturally (Volcano, 1992. rev. ed.). This reasonably priced, up-to-date paperback is a good addition for public library and consumer health collections that need another menopause book.
