Hi Ladies

I am 3 years since my last period. For 2 years following I had hot flashes, which were a nuisance but bearable! They then subsided which was great but they have come back with a vengeance over the last few months, more frequent than previously though perhaps shorter and less intense! I have never taken HRT and have battled through but these are really starting to get on my nerves! Can anyone recommend any natural remedies that have worked for them, and in particular has anyone also experienced their flashes subsiding and returning like this post meno? I really thought I was done!!! Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance xxx

You could try Red Clover and eating more foods with phytoestrogen e.g. soya products.  DG x

Thankyou I shall look into red clover.

I have recently returned from holiday and have been eating rubbish and having lots of lovely wine and cocktails - getting back to ‘normal' will hopefully improve things a little x

Lesley, such changes plus the very hot summer we have had could very well be the culprit. I'm struggling too this summer - and it was getting better for me! Grrrrr!

Maybe give it time and switch back to your regular eating/drinking, and adding in the supplement DG suggested certainly wouldn't hurt. Good luck! xxxx

Thankyou Tempest - the last week or so has been murder as it is so humid! Just had a mad few hours as well as stupidly decided to cook a roast - hot kitchen followed by hot meal was a killer! Think what was freaking me out most is that having suffered for a couple of years the having a reprieve for several months, they've crept up on me again. I'd no idea that could happen hence wondering if anyone else had similar experiences! Hope the forthcoming cooler spell will bring some relief for us both xxx
