    Help with Hot flashes!!!!

    I'm a mess with night sweats and hot flashes. Any suggestions?? I don't want to take HRT.
    I am going to go AL to see if that helps of course, but what else!!

    Thanks

    Help with Hot flashes!!!!

    Hi Cherbear,

    For once in my life, I can say I'm surrounded by fans, literally!:H:

    I sleep with a fan turned on low at the foot of my bed, works like a dream.
    One with a remote would be even better.

      Hi, Cherbear, Katie -

      Blue Ice (those things we used to use to keep our beer cold in the cooler :H). Wrap it in a towel and take it to bed with you. The big, foldable sheet type is preferable, and keep extras in the freezer for when they thaw. verheated:

        Black cohosh tablets is what saved me!

        Also, I bought a little pillow called a "Chillow" that you you fill with water and put inside your pillowcase. I imagine an oldfashioned hot water bottle filled with cool water would work, too. Works great when your head is melting and you are trying to sleep. Good luck! The black cohosh takes a week or two to kick in. It really does the trick for me. Its the ingredient in a lot of the menopause pills that is the kicker.

          I take Agnus Castus and haven't had a flash since week three of taking them. Seriously.
          But they took 3 full weeks to work.
          Keep on keeping on

            Oh my gosh!!!! I hate night sweats! I find they aren't nearly as bad if I don't have AL. I'm 44 and have been going through menapause since the age of 35. FYI... Don't bother wasting your money on the night sweat jammies.

                Mine are finally subsiding, but being AF def will help (at least it did me!) Keep your head and feet cool. Also icepacks, cold wraps, etc. on your pulse points will drop your temperature quickly. Good luck, sweetie. I think homicide is legal during menopause! LOL

                Oh, and the most wonderful thing in the South, ceiling fans! I have mine on year round. Hubs is about to freeze his taters off. I told him he was hot when he was young, mine just took a while longer!
