    H Vanessa 

    i too have had hot flushes return post meno ..

    had up to 20 a day in height of summer .. i live in southern spain.

     excessive heat set mine off again.. hadnt had them for year since early peri.

    when i took estroven max for years i never had one.. ( that contains a small amount of black cohosh ) but it can affect liver black cohosh so i stopped taking it ..

    but it did work very well..

    as a hot flush is the way we cool down during menopause and the weather here was roasting, i have never had so many or such intense hot flushes before ever .

    they are the pits..

    i dont take HRT ..

    now we have had what we call a few cool days and I had no flushes, abit of warmth maybe but no intense flushes .. weird isnt it ..

    i also now take Vit E 400iu said to help abit ...

    dont know about the raspberry stuff, they say sage helps but i never tried it .

    dont wish too 

    i totally understand how desperate they make you feel, i can be sat normal one minute then taking my top off the next ...

      Ohhh Jay you make me laugh.  Sounds like you are ready to flash people too like Astrid.  💙💜💚 I remember when my other sister was having terrible hot flashes so bought her a mini fan for her purse....instant breeze!    

      But she forgot to put batteries in it lol. 💕

      Hiya Jay.  Men like their women hot.  They don't care where the heat comes from either haha. They don't understand woman problems.  Well I was doing just fine til this crap hit.  It's brutal. I feel like an old lady most all days waaaaaaa 👵👵👵

    Hello vanessa. I take raspberry ketones and unfortunately they haven't stopped my hot flushes but it's always worth a try. Can't do any harm and you may also lose some weight (if you want to of course)!

    Hi Vanessa I have been wearing my ladycare magnet and after three days my hot flashes started to slow down and within two weeks they were gone !! I was very sceptical initially it was so desperate in the end that I thought why not?! Thank god I bought one!!! Bloody marvellous!!

      I too retried the lady are magnet not so successfully as I became attached to the car when trying to get in and out then to my handbag which resulted in having to hoist your knickers as they sank to half mast ( that's where the magnet was). It got embarrassing having to peel myself off anything metal so I had to stop:biggrin

      i am glad it works for some, i couldnt be doing with something attached to my knickers, like a contraption .. not for me .. think i would sooner have a hot flush 😃

      hope your well Liz

      Haha, I have a ladycare magnet which I use fron time to time, and I have also become attached to metal objects. While loading shopping at the checkout in my local supermarket I became aware of a strange 'pulling' sensation as I moved away from the bagging area to pay and realised it was the magnet being attracted to the metal trim! I do find it helps, but then got out of the habit (I used to use it when I was having periods, and sometimes forgot from one period to the next) I have to say I haven't tried it since periods stopped, perhaps I need to try it again and see if it helps should my hot flushes return.

      Hi all,  I use lady care magnets for my menopause and for my period troubles.  excellent.  Things definately settled a lot.  Yes they do attatched occasionally to things but they do dislodge quite easily.  They are small and not very noticeable.  Make sure they are worn in the right place so that they work.  Good luck.

      Hi I posted that and relised that a d missed of use put my post to current use.  I in fact used these some 10-12 years ago.  No longer use them.  I had a hysterectomy at 50 so stopped using them.

    Hi Vanessa, I have recently read that red clover is a good remedy for hot flushes .I can't personally vouch for it but I will try it if mine start up again (started HRT because of horrendous hot flushes but quickly stopped as it didn't suit me and as yet, the hot flushes have not returned).

    I hope you find something which does the trick for you,

    Hey Vanessa, I was lucky not to suffer too much from hot flushes until the end of peri when they hit me with a vengeance. I thought this was strange and when night sweats began to bother me too, I looked for a culprit.

    I had moved to Spain the year before where the Lindt chocolate stares you in the face everywhere and I had daily portions of this, 50 to 100 g so I thought that might be the culprit. (ouch!) I went cold turkey, and within a month I only had a few hot flushes a week. This was in 2011 and for a whole year I did not suffer from them. Naturally I did not miss chocolate. smile

    One year after going cold turkey I had four dentist appointments and received local anaesthetics every time. My hot flushes suddenly became worse than ever and lasted six months before they disappeared. I apparently had a massive allergic reaction to the sulphites in the anaesthetic.

    Why I'm telling you this is that it's quite possible that you are consuming something that makes your flushes worse and anything you take to make them less or go away might be hindered by something you are sensitive to.

    Coffee, red wine, chocolate... there must be a myriad of things that one can be sensitive to - it's very personal, but I've known a number of red wine drinkers whose flushes and night sweats were massive. But check out lists online to see if there are things that you consume daily which could be the culprit (it's usually what you love most). It was worth every ounce of chocolate I missed out on in order to get rid of the flushes!

    Drinking a liter or more a day of still spring water would be good too. My flushes have stopped completely over the last few months now that I drink water regularly.

    I sometimes do eat chocolate again. wink
