Eye-opening and so informative! I feel so seen listening to this book by a doctor who specializes in menopause (after going through it herself).

A friend recommended it to me today when I told her about the strange, intense shoulder pain I‘ve been having lately. It‘s called “frozen shoulder”—I‘m not the only one!

Prairiegirl_reading When I was 42 I got frozen shoulder. I had never even heard of it! At 48 I had so many perimenopause symptoms that I had no idea to be looking for. It‘s so good to know! 3d
Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Right? Just having a name for what‘s going on is good. I‘m going in to my doctor next week and hoping he can find ways to help me manage it. So much pain when it flares up! 3d
Prairiegirl_reading I had debilitating fatigue, sleep issues, tinnitus, all sorts of things. I really hope you get the help you need. Suffering is not normal! 3d
Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Thank you! I‘m going to ask for physical therapy and HRT. If he‘s not hearing me, I‘ll go to my OB-Gyn next 🤞💗 2d

I can‘t be the only weirdo who gets excited when I see a sale on a book about a disease or medical condition. Right? Bueller? Bueller?

ShelleyBooksie One of the best non fiction I've read. It's terrifying. 3d

Bananas. Often hard to read, because of its insensitivity and my own second-hand embarrassment…

Fiction is the great lie telling the truth…

Spot on articulation for why writing & reading “fiction” is important. 👌🏾 I could listen to Verghese all day - so insightful & relaxing. Bet his medical students like him.

GingerAntics I has a patient that used to come in and talk about how children shouldn‘t be reading fiction because it‘s nonsense and they should only be reading “the truth” because that‘s what the Bible says, EVERY time she came in. It was really hard to keep my mouth shut. 🙄 2w
Tamra @GingerAntics oh yes - that would be very hard. My tongue would hurt. 😖 2w

GingerAntics @Tamra it sure did! It was utter nonsense and I felt terrible for her kids! She didn‘t even let her grandkids read fiction at her house. I feel back for them, too! 2w
Tamra @GingerAntics wow! 😖 2w
GingerAntics @Tamra yeah. It was actually REALLY sad. We would sure hate for kids to have imaginations. 2w
GingerAntics @Tamra she was a really sweet lady outside of that. It was just hard to think well of her when she was SO adamant against literature. 2w

I really enjoyed this book which is written by a surgeon. I loved reading about the personal experiences and perspectives of this surgeon which were bursting with detail,pure honesty and emotion. I look forward to reading another book by Dr. Ruggieri.
