I’m new here. I’m 60 and have been suffering from hot flushes for 5 years now. All this started at a bad time since our “healthcare system” here in Canada is suffering also. I haven’t seen a doctor in 5 years and am on a “waiting list”. So I’m suffering alone! That’s why I thought I’d joined this Forum. I was already doing yoga and exercises and that doesn’t seem to work. I never drank alcohol, don’t smoke, don’t drink caffeine and don’t eat spicy food (never have) and still my hot flushes keep on flushing!!!!! Every time I try to talk to a woman in my community, they all tell me that they never went through any of that!!!! I just want to cry when I wake up 5 times during the night because of the sweats and listen to my husband snoring next to me >:( Right now, I’m just glad I’m retired and I don’t have to work. But I just need to “vent” sometimes and have nobody to vent with ;D I usually have 10 flushes during the day also. Right now I’m trying meditation to see if that will help. Thank you for reading me :)

Hello and welcome to the forum. I am sorry you are battling with hot flushes. I think HRT is the best thing for them but I understand this is difficult to get in Canada. It is lovely to have you on here.

Why is it difficult to get HRT in Canada?
The hot flushes were the one symptom I couldn't cope with and that was the reason I went on HRT years ago. I only used it for 5 years and it got me over the worse of it.
Some of those ladies in your community are obviously lying as hot flushes are the most commonest symptom of the menopause. Sad you are not getting more support!

I’ve been taking menopace original for about 3 months but since introducing sage 6 weeks ago my night sweats have gone completely. When I first started getting them I wasn’t too bothered as I was always on the cold side and suddenly I was warm, hot feet, hot hands, hot everything and it was saving on the heating lol. Then they got a bit ridiculous and I was throwing covers off and on all night. Went straight down they herbal route and it’s worked a treat although I was cold again so dropped it down to one sage a day rather than two and I’m still without a single sweat. Magnesium glycinate has helped a great deal with the aches and brain fog and my mental clarity is good, I work in accounting so needed to address it before it became too much of an issue. I’ve not had a period for months but I still get waves of feeling really hormonal and at these times I run on empty for a few days but in between that I’m ok, I’m loving having no periods, I couldn’t wait for them to stop, I don’t miss the ups and downs at all so I like to think I’ve found a good few supplements that balance it all out. I hope it helps someone out there
Lipity:
Hi do you also take HRT ?
I’ve had a bad reaction to HRT and it’s made me a little scared to try it again so I’m looking for natural ways. I’m 55 now hopefully soon I might be heading out of this mess, who knows . I start the magnesium like your on this week so fingers crossed, I’m going to have a look now at some Sage after seeing your post. Good luck with everything X
