Hello,
I am in the middle of reading a great book.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause.
By, DR John Lee, Dr Jesse Hanley and Virginia Hopkins
It is very easy to read and I have learned so much about how my body
works. It has helped me to come up with questions to ask as well as
specific tests that I want to have done.
An easy place to find this is at http://www.amazon.com or at a local bookstore
near you.
Please consider reading this book and feel free to email me.

Hope this helps.
Ann
