About Elizabeth Perkins

I have to admit... I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it may just show in my contributions on the site. I think it's a great quality buy my husband seems to differ sometimes. We have two boys still living at home, one is in college, the other has no idea what he wants to do! My passion in life is cooking and at the end of each day you can find me on my back deck sipping some wine and just taking it easy! I love finding bargains (but I HATE cheap). Nothing rubs me more the wrong way than when something doesn't work! That might just be the "perfectionist" in me.

I cannot speak for every menopausal woman because we all experience menopause differently. However, for me, my mood swings were, at times, unbearable. Amberen worked for me, helping me find stability, but not all supplements work for all women.

She tried Enzymatic Therapy Woman’s Choice AM/PM Menopause and had stellar results. The AM/PM formula helped her manage her moods during the day, while reducing her hot flashes at night.  She says her relationships have been revived and her electric bill has dramatically been reduced.

A reader emailed me this review a couple of days ago about the menopause supplement Mendapause. I think her review speaks for itself.

My life was erupting with debilitating night sweats and public hot flashes.  I had been using other supplements successfully, but after a few months they would stop working. I was considering HRT when, I discovered Mendapause. Within a few days my symptoms seemed to magically disappear. I have been using Mendapause for over six months, now. So far, my symptoms are still non-existent. Elizabeth,  tell your readers about this option. They may find it useful. I did. – Sarah, Indiana
