LOL too funny!!!!
My doc said yep, deal with it!

I gave him a nasty look.
I think Men should have it instead of us,
after all, we are the ones who have to
carry children! Why could'nt they have it???

If we're gonna give 'em something...let's give them childbirth. What I'm really thinkin is when (gee, if) I meet up with Eve, I'm really gonna bust her in the chops

Might I mention because I burn up at night when sleeping, like a bear in hibernation (sp), we sleep with the fan or the AC on every night 365. My poor hubby has to sleep with one leg out to get some cool air... lol

I have also had a hysterectomy when i was young (24). I have and still am going thru those darn hot flashes. I would rather have a migrane. it is not only annoying but uncomfy as well. when they hit, they are very severe for a while. then you get cold. I was on hormone treatment for a long time. both patches and pills. i gave up on them due to the scares about heart problems along with a wild list of other things. I thought I would just rough it. so rough it i did. I was told it could last 10 yrs. My sister-in-law takes Centrum silver ( for old ladies). she said it decreased her hot flashes. I go to bed with a glass of ice water on my night stand. sips of ice water, when it wakes you, helps a little.
Here in south Texas I am not sure if it is a hot flash or the weather. LOL. So... my other suggestion is move south .

Hope the "power surges" are not too severe your you all.

I will admit hot flashes are the only time I'm ever warm. If I could figure out how to have one without the sweats, I'd be pleased as punch. I do NOT like wringing wet clothing in the middle of the night.......

If it lasts 10 years, you'd think with all the sweat, you'd have least lost some weight through water weight any way

But no of course not, menopause means the weight STAYS on, it's permanent.

Have ya notice no men have ventured into THIS thread???? LOL

There's NO way I'm telling my Husband it's 10 years, :zip:
It's been almost two, Just kill me now, I'll never make it.

PCMom · 02-03-2006, 02:40 PM

I have been going through it for the last 2 years...and I'm ONLY going to be 46 this month!! My husband looked at me one night while he was freezing and I was red faced and sweating "Aren't you through this yet?" I believe with my whole heart that it would have been justifiable homicide! LOL

I can't take the hormones because of BP/Heart issues but I do take Estroven and believe it or not it has helped a lot with the hot flashes/ night sweats! Now if they could only do something about the urge to hurt the one I love!

Now she's the one who gets cold and not me...my dad says we just confuse him too much

Mind you the New Phase didn't help my mom's migraines (she has cronic daily ones) but it helped the other symptoms.

Can i ask what is New Phase?

I tryed that also but had night mares.
I have cut the smoking down to 1 pack a day (which is great for me) I have starting eating breakfast an lunch ( which i didnt do) I have started eating the proper foods, I use to drink over a 12 pack of Dr. pepper a day. I limit myself to 2 a day now and drink nothing but water. I have change my whole live style around and it just does'nt seem to help.
Although i have to say this past month i have lost over 10 pds. But i'd rather have the weight then meopause!!!!!
