One for the ladies - hot flushes!

[Dreaming]

Been recently getting hot flushes. More so around the top half of my body. Am thinking it could be the start of the menopause (groan) as I am in my 40's. But trying to kid myself I am too young for that. Also been very tearful and low.

Any other ladies here of a similar age, had the same experiences? And was it the start of the menopause?

if you go to the docs they can give you a blood test now to see if you are in themenapuse thus ableing them to give treament quicker, iam 45 the doc said any time between early 40 -50s somtimes he said you could be like your mams age when she went through it, this age thing seems to creep up fast i allways get such a funny feeling wondering how the time has flown, iam a nana now so its even more evident, if you go to holland and barret they have good herbal remidies for the menopause if you feel like taking the natural course hope this helps good luck

Okay...first have your BH change your water lines back to cold on your toilet and stop sticking your head in when you "flush"..that should stop the hot "flushes". LOL...sorry, trying to be funny, you made me laugh when I read that.
You may be PRE-menopausal...can use Estroven over the counter tabs to help a little bit. The hot "flAshes" can occur before meno comes full on, your cycle will also go off. It"s all kinds of fun..welcome to my world...jump in, the pool is warm...LOL

Whatever you do DONT ever take Red Clover drops. They gave me serious nosebleeds and I had to be rushed to hospital. Drink soya milk instead of dairy, in tea and on cereals, but in coffee it will go yukky. Also soyal tablets. They are apparently a natural HRT.
