sweaty scrubber
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have been menopausal for 5 years 4 years ago I went on HRT for 12 months i put on 2 stone (at 5ft 1 inches thats not good) and no change in anything else i came off them. over the next 18 months it got less and less to the point of no periods and no flushes/sweats. YIPEE I thought until 3 months ago the sweats came home and got gradually worse and worse.
Last weekend i could have cried as the sweats were so hot they were painful.
Monday I had 26 flushes in 12 hours !!!! enough was enough doctors I went and pots of blood later to find out still in madness i really dont want to go down the HRT because of weight gain (not vanity - i run and cycle)
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP WITH ALTERNATIVE TO HRT I NEED SOME SLEEP

I tried alternative therapies, vitamins, phytoestrogens and nothing made a difference to me.
Luckily I have a good GP who suggested that I take a non therapeutic dose of an antidepressant called Effexor (37.5 mg per day).
The hot flushes gradually diminished over the following 2-4 weeks and now I don't have any at all unless I forget to take the medication ! Worth some research .
Good luck and let me know how you get on.

I use Menopol plus which you purchase from simply supplements and has very good reviews for hot flushes. Or why not try a Ladycare magnet which you wear on your underwear and again that has good reviews. Good luck xxx
