Hi Stef,
Breast cancer in ‘98 threw me into early menopause. I suffer from terrible hot flashes and my doctor recommened Red Clover. It can be found at a health food store. 2 pills twice a day. It’s fantastic! Works like a charm! Please ask your doctor first though if it’s OK for you to try it. Good Luck!

Have you tried Vitamin E? That has worked for most everyone I know.

Cindy,

Next time I’m at GNC I’ll look for it. But I have tried three different brands of the cream and they didn’t do nada. Even that stuff that everyone raves about–Arbonne.

Pam,

I am with you on that one. Part of my side affects are a migraine once a month. I’ve got a killer one now and took an aspirin combo–but other than that, I don’t believe in drugs on a daily basis. Now, if I got cancer, of course I’d take the course of treatment. Other than that, it’s funny when I got to a doc and fill out a form and it says Drugs Taking and mine is blank. They think I forgot to fill it out.

Try Emerita Pro-Gest progesterone cream. I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago at age 45 and spent one year (and added 30 lbs.) with HRT. This natural cream took care of hot flashes, night sweats, and every other problem I was having with menopause. Six other ladies I work with use it also and we all swear by it.

P.S. Stef Ann – I love your books. Keep it up.!

I am six months into my 50th year and while I also believe in prayer and trusting God… I think there are times when drugs are a necessity. Especially when I am having a migraine. It is supposed to get better but I am still waiting.
