Hi!! New Here!!! I went into menopause in my late 20's...I 've since gone on to have a total hysterectomy and I have adopted to great kids from Korea. And, my life is Good It's just I have HOT FLASHES....All the time :eek: . I have resorted to wearing a hat so I'm not walking around with a wet head all the time. I'm now 165 I used to be 135...I'm sure toe extra weight over the last 5 years hasn't helped...it just came on so easey after my hysterectomy. So I'm 38 yrs. old and planning a 5 day trip to Bermuda in Oct. where I'm sure I will be sweating...any input would be great. I take Estradiol 1mg/day.
Thanks Ladies & Peace to All, Pawla

hi paula---- i have 2 friends each whom had hyterechtomies(bad spelling) in their late 20's. both wore some sort of patch for years. both are in their early 60's now with no complications from the patches. i just went through menopause and started to suffer horribly from HF and NS. tried everything natural and prescription AD. finally called my gyn and told him i was willing to try the combi-patches he had recommend several times. i know there are risks but i am finally sleeping through the night and not dripping sweat day in and day out. they are not everyone's choice but they were my last resort.

Hi Paula2, :wave:
I have the hot flashes and night sweats. I have been trying natural supplements without great success. Last week someone on another thread did some research for me and came up with Maca Root. It is used for many many different problems. It was hard to find in health stores, but I did find it, in liquid form. Lots of places to order it though. Anyway, I have noticed improvment from the first day. I was having 1-3 HF an hour now it's been 1-3 every 5 hours. That is great improvment. It hasn't helped a whole lot for my NS though. But I have only been taking it for 4 days. :D
Hope this helps. :bouncing:
