Soy! In any form. Tofu, soy sauce, chocolate covered soy beans, etc etc. You will notice a difference right away with night sweats and hot flashes. |

Vitamin E helps with hot flashes. Mine got bad enough that I wasn't sleeping very good and the doctor put me on Prempro. I haven't had anymore trouble since then. |
I hear you sister! I am 53 and periods are very few and far between now, but the "flashes" are plentiful. We call them "Power surges" at my house. Even my 5 year old grand daughter will see me fanning and say,"nana, you having another hot flash?" I went to the dr. and they wanted to put me on hormone replacement therepy, but I said, no dice. I will deal with the heat. WHen available I will run to the freezer and stick my head in for a bit. The best to place to be when one hits is the freezer compartment at Costco! I have tried all the herbs and still "flash", but vitamin E seems to work best for me. Good luck and if you find something that helps, please pass it on. Debbie |
devoted to Lucy! I had a complete hysterectomy @ 35 and started having hot flashes in the hospital! After 6 months of AGONY I began the hormone replacement therapy ( I was crying one minute and ready to kill the hubby and kids the next) and I haven't looked back. I still have flashes, but not as bad. The best thing I've ever done is to buy one of those gel packs you put in the freezer. When it gets really bad you put it under your armpit and it cools you off faster than anything else I tried. Kim & Lucy |
I like the idea of the freezer packs - haven't thought of that one!! There is a yoga breath that is cooling, too. Open your lips to an "O" and put the tip of your tongue at the back of your upper teeth. Then breath in and out through your mouth slowly. This is a cooling breath and as dumb as it sounds, it will help to cool you down. I am about to turn 45 but have been per-menopausal for about 5 years. I use Phytoprolief (a natural, bio-identical, plant-based progesterone/estrogen) by Arbonne. I swear by it!!! Don't have hot flashes during the day yet, but it has helped with the night sweats. |
POOR Thing !!! :( :( :( I may have a solution for you..... I hit the big M at 41 but never had the hot flashes. I do have really REALLY messed up hormones - and tried Bio Identical Hormone treatment - but had to stop due to the expense. What I Believe I have is Estrogen Dominance....and am really trying to fix my own self now .... With no insurance -and a sick husband - I just can't go to the doctor - but would if I could - it really affects our whole body and just gets worse in time.:( A GOOD Friend of mine told me about this Cream for Hot Flashes and is available at some health food stores or online. I just bought it 5 days ago so it's still too soon to see if it's going to help me - but she SWEARS it stopped her really bad hot flashes. I'm hoping it will help me with how tired and dragged out I am. I can ask her to talk to you for more information - She said it's the only thing that ever worked for her - its called - Pro-Gest...It's susposed to be the closest thing to BioIdentical Progesterone....even better -this comes from a Woman based company... http://www.emerita.com/ but I ordered HERE ($24.00 vs $39 at Emerita) it arrived in 3 days: http://www.vitacost.com/productResul...x?N=32+2007974 |

Ahhh, welcome to the world of HOT flashes, nite sweats, chills, and no sleep and all the rest of the fun stuff. I won't take hrt's, either. But I figure just being able to go somewhere and not have to be "armed with pads, tampons, and all that crap" and not even think about it, is worth the other. I had horrendous periods for the last few years, so I am ecstatic that they are gone. One bit of advice, any caffeine will bring them on. So de-caf coffee, caffeine-free soda, and even tho chocolate always makes us feel better, it does have caffeine in it. Good Luck. It will be worth it when it's over, so they tell me. :confused: |
Hey guys I hear ya. I haven't had a period in 6 years and hot flashes for about 4 years when I stop the hormones patches. I keep the a/c on all the time and sometimes put my head in the deep freezer lol lol hey it worked |
Stay away from caffiene, and hot/spicy foods. Try some soy and drink lots of water. Get some exercise too! A friend of mine swears by Estroven, but so far I have decided to let nature do it's thing. |

I get them all the timr. Doesn't help that my husband has a circulation problem and is always cold. It's thermostat wars at our house day and night! I do drink a lof of caffinated drinks so maybe I will cut back on them. Do tey ever stop? I have had them for almost 3 years. |
http://www.power-surge.com/Here is a great place. |
For many women, they do get better with time, but that's a long time. I'm 8 years post menopausal and I only have an occasional hot flash. I still keep a fan on the floor by my desk so that when one occurs, I just turn on the fan for a few mins and that really helps. Also, I dress lightly - NO TURTLENECKS - even in winter, and I put a jacket on and off as needed. I find that when I have a flash and sweat, then afterward, I am cold sometimes, especially in a restaurant with max air conditioning. I also keep sugar free/low calorie popcicles in the freezer and when I feel a flash coming on, I'll eat a popcicle and it really helps. Someone once told me that the best way to warm or cool the body is from the inside out - so if you are cold, drink something hot, if you are hot, eat/drink something cold. It works for me. |
