Hello Gillian, welcome to the MM forum 

Another thing that I found invaluable for hot flushes was a Magicool spray.  At the height of mine I had one in the sitting room, one in the bedroom and a handbag sized one in whatever bag I took out with me.

Hi Gillian, this looks interesting I am reading About the ladycare magnet now as wide awake at 4:30 am with hot flushes.

Quite a few members have tried the magnet. Have a search of the forum for their posts.

Hi GillianShaw

  from me too.

Very diplomatic Taz 

I will be blunt - Jessicaponies - please don't waste your money on buying a magnet!! There is absolutely no evidence that they do anything at all and gynaecologists rate them 0/10 as treatment for menopause! They belong in the realms of belief, crystals and the like. However if you are happy to use them on a belief rather than a scientific basis then do go ahead!

Sorry to hear about all those flushes  GillianShaw, and I do hope they decrease, but unfortunately, unless you are peri-menopausal even the placebo effect only seems to do so much when using this device. Do tell us where you are in menopause re your cycle etc - have you thought of HRT? This and various types of anti-depressants are pretty much the only things that have been conclusively shown to reduce hot flushes.

Let us know how you get on anyway
