Due to surgically induced menopause .... I was thrust into a whole new world of 'issues' ... hot flashes, night sweats, temper tantrums, no sex drive, and insomnia .... it torn my relationship apart ... that was 10 years ago (ages 30 now 40) .... the good ole' doc put me on estradiol right from the start .... so I wasnt so quick to anger ... but that was about it for the relief .... estroven (available at your local wal-mart) ... helped initially with the hot flashes and night sweats ... but in time that wore off. I haven't found much relief from the 'hots' but I did find that Melatonin (natural sleep aid) works for the insomnia ... its non addictive and all natural so you don't have the morning after blahs. As for the hots ... I now keep an ice pack in the freezer at all times ... when a hot flash hits I put it on the back of my neck ... seems thats the fastest place to cool you off ... hope this helps for some .... now all I need is my sex drive back ... anyone know where to find one??? they arent on sale at wal-mart
