Hot Flushes (again)

[Eastender]

Once again my hot flush'es have started up again (menopause). To me they seem to be getting worse, so now I have to have a air fan pointing right at me just to keep me cool lol. I sometimes think I am going to just conbuste into flames lol. My blood feels like its boiling and my skin feels so so hot. I am trying to keep of HRT but I might have to give up the ghost and see my doctor and give it a go. I am now also wondering if to much cholestrol is causing me to feel like this? Anyway what are other womens experiencies and did the HRT work?

Like you I did not want to try HRT, but I'm so glad I did. I have patches rather than tablets, and they work great.

Also I had not realised how lethargic I was until I went onto HRT, now I have loads of energy. (put on a litte weight tho:)

It's worth going to a good healthfood store (then independants tend to be better than chains) there are a lot of well researched natural remedies that can help. Put 'natural menopause' in google and you'll get quite a few sites with some useful advice.

Black Cohosh & Wild Yam is brilliant for all menopause symptoms.
