After waking up soaked one night this week, I decided to read some of the menopause stories in the Our Voices section here at BWS. Have you read one of the latest additions, For Everything There is a Season, by Mary V. Kolar? Here's a link to the story. I think you'll like it. http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com/stories/survive-season.html

Very cute Dotsie! My hot flashes are daily and nightly for the past 4 years. Just today, the girls in my office and I went out to lunch. The A/C was on and they were chilled. Of course, at that moment I had one of my worst flashes of the day. I used my napkin to fan me when all of a sudden I spotted 3 girls in about their 30's in the next booth laughing at me! I wanted to tell them to "just wait a decade or so" and I would be laughing since it will be over for me by then! (I hope) No one really knows how debilitating these can be, but yes...they too will pass!

I think we need to create menopause fans to keep close by. I'm always grabbing something to fan myself with. I LOVE telling younger women "just you wait" as I'm melting in air conditioned spaces.

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.

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.

Val, I'm using Serenity it came direct to me from Florida. It was created by Dr John Lee who has written many books on hormones and womens health.
How long after you started using the cream did you notice any improvment? I did have a wonderful sleep last night, woke up just once, hot but certainly not the huge sweats I had been having. Slept through the alarm too!
