I am tired of suffering with hotflashes:(

[Oregongrown]

I figure there must be other women here that have experienced hotflashes so here I am. Asking for help. I am still getting them after almost 10 years. Has anyone tried a natural remedy(I can't do HRT because it brings back migraine with a vengeance. I ended up at the emergency room and it took 5 shots full of something to take the pain away in my head).

I know I sound exasperated but I am just so tired of having them. Is there anyone out there that can recommend something that took away their hotflashes for good? I so long to be able to where warm clothing again. Now I am going to school again at 58 and where light, even Summer clothing but I am either freezing or sweating, no happy medium

I am about tired of having hot flashes also, but can say they have eased up considerably lately. Been having them for about 7-8 years myself. There are natural remedies out there but due to lack of funds I have not been able to really explore them. But the vitamin stores do have them. Sorry I can't offer any real help other than to find a vitamin store with someone in it that knows their products and seek some help there. There are many products out there and it would probably just be a matter of finding one that works for you.

I don't know if this helps everybody that tries, but I had great success with vitamin E. I had a surgical menopause and the hot flashes were severe. I stopped the vitamin E a couple of times just to see if that was what helped, and sure enough the hot flashes came back.
Sometimes when we that age the thyroid gland also gets under active and that can contribute to hot flashes also.

A couple of things that help are Black Cohosh and Evening Primrose oil. They can be found anywhere vitamins and herbs are sold.

Hope you find some relief.

I would strongly suggest the Wiley Protocol. Here's an informative link: http://thewileyprotocol.com/?gclid=C...FQhbhwod0VOdlw. It is hormone replacement, but it is topical (rubs on the skin) and bioidentical (unlike premarine which is made from pregnant horse urine, hence the name - preg-mare-urine). My very close friend has used it for about 11-12 years and loves it. You owe it to yourself to at least check it out. Good luck.

After almost a decade of them I'm tired of them too ...... sniff sniff

(I recently realised eating certain fruits (such as mangos) aggrevates the flashes.)

I've been having hot and cold flashes, as well as night sweats. I wake up soaked and a few minutes later, I am freezing.
It's extremely uncomfortable. I really need to get some more herbs to help with this.. it's nuts!

I freeze first, and then I get all steamed up .
You're right: it's nuts!

I used a bioidentical hormone cream that was compounded by a compounding pharmacy and prescribed by my doctor. I believe these are better than the over the counter creams you buy at health food stores. I have also heard fish oil and Evening primrose oil are helpful. I found coffee and alcohol made it worse.

I highly recommend this supplement. I get mine on Amazon.com. I was having severe hot flashes and since I have been taking these for about 2 months I see a big difference.
