Menopause will finally be on everyone’s radar now!

That’s because Oprah has discovered that many of her problems during the past year – including heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, trouble sleeping, weight gain and depression – are due to the change of life. Duh! Does this sound familiar anyone?

She has now done a number of shows recently on peri- and post-menopause and hormone replacement.

If you missed these shows, or don’t watch Oprah (I don’t), then you can access the information from her shows at her web site: http://www.oprah.com/dated/oprahshow/oprahshow_20090114_bioidentical.

For those of you out there like me, who have done a lot of research already, you may not learn much that is new to you, but she does have some interesting chat rooms, etc. If you have any friends or relatives that are less informed, this could be a good staring point for them.

What Oprah did for reading and book clubs she may be able to do for menopause too.

Maybe, at last, most women will feel comfortable talking about, and dealing with, this natural life transition!
