I've been sort of "anticipating" those hot flashes for that reason, but as SM says, the mood swings and other joys that come with it are offputting.<br /><br />Isn't Mother Nature weird, the way she wires some of us one way and the rest another? *sigh* Here's hoping you get some relief! TGIF to you!margarethttp://misformisanthrope.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-45830100010682285962009-09-30T15:00:00.295-05:002009-09-30T15:00:00.295-05:00Thanks, everybody...
Sandcastle Momma - This ha...Thanks, everybody... <br /><br />Sandcastle Momma - This happens to everyone at different ages. My mom had a hysterectomy, so I don't know when she would have gone through it, and my grandmother didn't talk about those things - so I don't know if my family does it early or late or somewhere in between. So far, the moods haven't been too bad though.<br /><br />Cher - I'm going to try to avoid taking pills if I can. I can't really afford any more prescriptions and I don't know how anything extra would interact with what I'm already taking.<br /><br />HoosierGirl - I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get another 10 years!<br /><br />Church Lady - A sense of humor seems to help.<br /><br />Janis - I'm thinking that maybe eating tofu a few times a week might help. Supposedly estrogen-rich foods will calm things down a little. Don't know how long it takes to kick in, though.<br /><br />Karisma - thanks for the waterfall! I feel better already!<br /><br />Pamela - No anxiety yet. I do have some "help" for that should I need it, but I haven't needed "help" for about 6 months now.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-40626662277790162422009-09-30T14:44:51.121-05:002009-09-30T14:44:51.121-05:00I had anxiety attacks with mine, and you can't...I had anxiety attacks with mine, and you can't layer for that.<br /><br />hugs ( but only after dipping my arms in ice water)Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-54543119988010608752009-09-30T09:20:17.377-05:002009-09-30T09:20:17.377-05:00LOL!

All...Sayre, I feel your pain..been there done that. All I can say is this too shall pass. When I was going through it, I learned how to dress in layers, so I could peel off some clothes when I got hot flashes (of course if you did that in Fl you would be nude..LOL) I took hormones for about 8 months and that did relieve my symptoms..but I developed weird looking spots in my breast, so I went off of them. I still to this day (and its been 13 yrs) get a mild flash around 6pm everyday. I found that taking.. natural herbs...Evening primrose and Black Cohash did help a little. Everybody is different however and I hope you can find some kind of relief, even if you have to step inside a meat locker to cool down. Good Luck my friend!Janishttp://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-61416628675637983512009-09-29T20:47:40.847-05:002009-09-29T20:47:40.847-05:00LOL - you crack me up.

If it weren't for Enjuvia, I would have exploded months ago. :-)A pill a day is well worth getting rid of the sweats and being able to sleep a full night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-44622252728650397252009-09-29T16:18:11.074-05:002009-09-29T16:18:11.074-05:00I'm always cold and the other day hubby told m...I'm always cold and the other day hubby told me that he can't wait for me to reach that point so I'll turn the heat off. What he doesn't know is that the mood swings will probably be a LOT worse than me always wanting the heat on LOL <br />I'm only 2 years behind you so I guess it won't be long. <br />My MIL put those ice packs that you put in coolers in her bra and swore that helped a lot.Sandcastle Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909850898687059507noreply@blogger.com
