Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I'm about a half hour from there. Old Ellicott City is so much fun. I've gone there for a day of window shopping with friends before. We always talk about going back. One of these days...

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Good Lord. After reading all the post I surely do feel like a Queen. Mine have stopped. I'm free at last! Free at last! I don't have hot flashes any more and no mood swings. Do not. DO NOT! YOU CAN'T PROVE IT! Ahem...what? Seriously, I think I'm over the worst of it. So, would someone tell us about Ellicott City and OLD Ellicott City? Are these places to visit as tourist? A nice vacation spot? What's the attraction there? I truly want to know. JJ

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	If you like antiques and funky collectibles, you would love Ellicott City. It's definitely a tourist spot. If you're visiting Baltimooe and like antiques, it's one of the many places you should visit. As far as night sweats go...I just got my jammies in the mail from Kathy at Rick and June. Visit the link on her site to learn more. Kathy, since I am on the pill I only have night sweats on the weeks I take the placebos. I'll let you know how they work. Thanks so much!

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	This definitely sounds like my kind of place. I suppose one would need money to shop there...hmmm...that might be a prob... Flossie, as best as I can tell, I had menopause for the past 10 years. I had a hystrectomy in the 80, but get this...didn't have the first flash until 10 years ago...when it hit though...whoa Nellie!

flossie Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 166 Loc: New Zealand	Oh dear, sounds like I have a long haul ahead of me!! I've started with the progesterone cream as the next experiment to see if that helps, although it can take several months for the hormones to kick in.

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	I think ANY sugar brings on my hot flashes/night sweats. I gave up chocolate, my only form of sugar, and the flashes/sweats went away. I was drinking soy milk and taking evening primrose oil. I was fine until i bought chocolate soy milk. Maybe its chocolate but I think sugar reacts with our bodies and we sweat the sweet stuff, so to speak. Of course, I think I am going to be the one to find the actual cause of sweats/flashes, ha ha. I am a stop at nothing researcher when I can't find answers to what I want to know. Heck, I am still researching/interviewing Pill Bull owners because of my intense curiousity about them. chick [ May 23, 2006, 08:05 PM: Message edited by: chickadee ]

Val Member Registered: 06/12/05 Posts: 110 Loc: Pa.	Flossie, I hope you don't mind my jumping in here. I use natural progesterone cream that is compounded by a compounding pharmacist. It has taken most all of my symptoms away including hot flashes and night sweats. Are you using it from a jar or is it a script with measured doses? Chickadee...I agree sugar is a culprit for many of our ails. I try to use stevia whenever possible.
