Listen to the vitamin E pushers; use it and the cream. They both work wonders. Also, strip anything off your bed that isn't 100% cotton, and that means mattress pads too. Once the night sweats pass, life will be much easier.

Our friend was in her kitchen cooking dinner when her first FLASH hit, she said she thought she was just heating up from all the hard work over the stove, but then she said that she felt that she was going to self combust, that she was going to break out in flames right there in her kitchen with her then 12 year old son watching, so what does she do??? She has her 12 year old son call 911 to send the FIRE DEPARTMENT, LMAO, she told us that while her son is still on the phone with the fire department, she tells him to tell the person on the other line and I quote here: " Tell the nice people your mother is fine now, no need to send the firemen, she will just go and shower". When she told my wife and I this story we about pee'd our pants laughing and we still do everytime we tell it and we tell it often..... <br />Blessings to you and yours <br />Curtis & SherrieCurtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250045308790156084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-79478449352800378412010-08-13T14:51:50.565-05:002010-08-13T14:51:50.565-05:00As I approached 50, we lived in South Texas.

He said, "South Texas heat is but a mere breeze compared to the discomfort menopause can cause some women!" Crank down the AC girl and hang on for the ride!

In chronological order, with the best saved for last!<br />Vitamin E 1600 IU daily<br />Strenuous walk for 1/2 hour or more <br />Avoid all sugar (yes, sorry)<br />But the best, that I have used for over 10 years with nary even a mini surge is Progesterone Cream from Aarisse (no, I don't sell it or profit from it in any way other than physical comfort!). Here's the link. I found out about it from the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" by Dr. John R. Lee - a MUST-read! http://www.healthyhormones.com<br />Phone: 800-675-9329<br />Shipping is free if you order 2 or more. <br />My 82 year old mother started using it two years ago (she still had big surges even at her age!) and now has none. And by the way, she doesn't use Vitamin E, she eats sugar, and she doesn't take walks!<br />Good luck - there is life after the first surge.<br />PS - I love reading your blog - you make my day! xoxoxMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527366753854863869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-46789936869457112492010-08-13T09:19:46.640-05:002010-08-13T09:19:46.640-05:00Good thing you have such a great sense of humor. ...Good thing you have such a great sense of humor.

Welcome to a very prestigious club, I feel ...Jamie,<br />Welcome to a very prestigious club, I feel your heat! I've been post menopausal since 2002. I was only 46 when the big M hit. Now at 54 I'm on the down slope. No more mood swings, night sweats, only the occasional hot flash. My mother, god bless her, bought me Dr. Christian Northrops book The Wisdom of Menopause. I refused to buy it for myself. I was in denial, who wouldn't be at 46. But it was helpful and there is a ton of information in her book that will hopefully put any anxiety you have about menopause to rest. To deal with the mood swings I went on Zoloft for only a year which helped tremendously. You'll get through this. We all do. So hang in there.<br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-335616906444546632010-08-12T20:21:07.397-05:002010-08-12T20:21:07.397-05:00My Mama's gonna be so jealous.
