you're very welcome. i was a bit computer-phobic myself until about a year ago, but now i'm a member of 6 forums on various subjects and find them very useful.
even if your friend doesn't join any forum, she can at least read through the postings, and she'll realise just how many women are suffering the same things she is, and it will hopefully reassure her.
and you're right, you'll maybe learn something yourself and be more prepared for when your time comes. i wish more people did know about these 34/35 symptoms, maybe they'd have more sympathy with middle aged women who are struggling with insomnia, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, etc., etc.
there are loads of supplements she can take to help alleviate some of the symptoms too. if she goes along to boots the chemist and has a look at their stuff, she's be spoilt for choice.
