One woman’s journey through menopause, middle age and madness - through anecdotes, research and a recently revived sense of humour.
At the tender age of only 52, Sheila Wenborne was told by her GP that the reason she felt so dizzy-headed, grumpy, fat, sexually redundant, liable to burst into tears at the drop of a hat and totally depressed was all due to the menopause.
This diagnosis was a shock! "It can't be! I'm far too young for that!"
"Gosh! The last thirty something years have flown by." Is it really time to say, “goodbye ‘G’ string, hello Grandma knickers?” Are the best years really behind me?
While many women can blame the menopause for things they might not otherwise do - such as using their partners' toothbrush to clean the toilet or forgetting to send their Mother-in-law a birthday card - Sheila Wenborne honed in on the positive and used ‘the change’ to start a new chapter in her own life.
So ... That's why I'm Bonkers! Is filled with interesting facts, laugh out loud anecdotes and helpful information that will make every girls journey through the desert of the menopause that much more easy.
