えっ! この私が、更年期? 突然「のぼせ」におそわれ、混乱と不安のなかで更年期への対処法を捜し求めた3年間を、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークで活躍するコラムニストがユーモアたっぷりに描く。1994年刊の新装版。

Unnerved by hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, Sand sought relief in everything from acupuncture to Zen Buddhism. She consulted gynecologists and an Ayurvedic doctor, tried homeopathy, massages, herbs, pills, talked with midwives, estrogen zealots and hormonal agnostics. This breezy, digressive, would-be humorous account of one woman's journey through menopause covers both familiar and exotic terrain. Sand, who has been a columnist and editor-at-large for a Florida newspaper, experienced bone loss which often accompanies reduction of estrogen and progesterone levels. Although she started out highly skeptical of hormone replacement therapy, she ended up on HRT, arguing, "There is no alternative to estrogen for osteoporosis." Appendixes present dietary and health tips, steps to prevent osteoporosis and bone-building recipes. 100,000 first printing.

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.
