There is a lot of information on the Web, although a lot of it is written in rather medical terms – there don’t seem to be many sites specifically written and compiled by menopausal women for menopausal women.
We’ve put together a page of links which will take you to the sites we find most useful.
In our survey over half of the respondents said they’d had no advice from anyone or anywhere, which seems amazing and incredible in this era of information overload.
Of those who did over 80% had asked their GP, 45% had used the Web and over 40% had asked friends or family. 25% had used books and 25% magazines. Obviously some had used more that one source.
Our own favourite open sources of information have been:
- BBC
- Menopause Matters
- BUPA
- Natural Menopause Association
- NHS Direct
- The Daisy Network
- Virginia Hopkins Health Watch - Bioidentical Hormone info, research and testing, prescription alternatives advice and more.
We’ve also put together a selection of what we consider to be the best books available – and you’ll find these in the Books section.
