That's the bit I'm dreading, hot flushes.  I've been very lucky up to now with the occasional feelings of 'heat' but not the awful flushes others describe.  I hate the thought they could be another phase yet to come!

Sparkle: Don't assume that you will get them badly. Mine have been really mild in comparison with the accounts read here. I have never been drenched in sweat at all and they haven't really stopped me sleeping. I am 2 years post periods.
I have also had the tingling and slight numbness though the tingling has just calmed down in the past week or two. Do any of you have underactive thyroid? I have the congenital version. Yesterday I had a neurology appointment for something different. I took the opportunity to ask him about the tingling and also mention the relationship between thyroid and menopause. He agreed with me that it would be beneficial to see an endocrinologist and is  willing to tell my GP this in a follow up letter. I was really pleased to hear that as my GP seemed to reject my suggestion that it needed checking and had ticked me off for doing my own research

From an energetic point of view, from what I've read and experiencedthe tingling, buzzing and shaking sensations are energy rising through the chakras and clearing them out of toxic stuff and issues which is why stuff surfaces for healing.....really wish it would be done soon....kundilini energy....try Google....am a holistic therapist but what I've researched, experienced and talked about to people in the know, this is what is happening......joy!!!!! Lol, hopefully soon :-) xxx

TropicalVon69, all I can say is I must gave a hell of a lot of toxic stuff in my system!  I really feel it's getting worse, and I'm so annoyed with myself for letting it get the better of my wandering imagination.  I have noticed my tingling legs have been a lot worse since I upped my brisk walking regime, and I do think it may be worse when I have tight leggings on, although this could be another figment of my imagination.  Sitting at the moment and legs feel like 'bubble wrap popping'.  When sitting, my buttocks feel like I'm sitting on nettles. (someone pass the dock leaf please). My lower back aches and am really scared my nerves in legs are permanently damaged. Had about enough now.  H x

Hello ladies.

Just catching up with this thread and can totally relate to the internal buzzing, 'mobile phone on vibrate' type of sensations. My symptoms were  relentless but  disappeared after beginning HRT, I've had problems since but nothing as severe. I also have tingling but only in my body, mainly abdomen which makes me feel very anxious.
Like some ladies I have never had drenching sweats and even at night I've only felt mildly warm so maybe tingling and vibrating is the price we pay for escaping a nightly soaking?
Whatever the reason I wish our hormones would give us a break!

Take care everyone.

holidaylover if it makes you feel better I use a magnesium oil spray as I was concerned about the effects of magnesium on my digestion. I understand it can be absorbed through the skin and it definitely helps me if I rub it on my aching back.
I have been spraying mine on my upper legs mostly and it has made my skin dry and hence actually tingly. I'm going to buy another version or a sensitive skin one as my skin is very dry now from it.
I started it as i had had a bad reaction to vitamin d and a pharmacist, who had the same problem told me that vitamin D depletes magnesium in the brain, so that was enough for me.

Sarsi Hi,  I did buy a magnesium spray, and tried it on, firstly my legs, which seemed to make things worse as they stung so badly, so I then tried a little on my forearms, but it gave me palpitations, and I found my sleep was worse.  Maybe I should have persevered for longer.  I'm giving Menopace a go which has magnesium in.  H x
