I know we're all different and at different stages, but just a word of encouragement... since I stopped hrt, I did get flushes/sweats back and now and again leg stiffness, but 9 months on and these really are fading.
I do enjoy a glass of wine, but do find that brings on a hot flush. Not so much recently though.
I am sticking to my base of good quality supplements and that, I think is very important. That they are quality ingredients. I've found Viridian and bio care have quality ingredients.
Keeping weight down really helps and I'm regularly eating phytoestrogens and lignans. Eg lentil dishes, chickpeas (hummus), ground flaxseeds.
I really feel this combination of things must be really helping, unless I would have had reduced symptoms anyway. Hard to know for sure. X
