Hello, I am new to this forum but I am
doing a little research for my
sleep-deprived mother. She is 50 years
old and has been experiencing nightly
hot-flashes, awaking her during the night
up to a dozen times! She complains that
she'll wake up in a hot sweat, strip off
her sheets so that she can get back to
sleep, only to be awakened a little later
because she is cold. I was wondering if
anyone else here as experienced this, and
if there is anything my poor mom can do to
rid of this nusiance or at least alleviate
the symptoms. Thanks.

Hot Flashes Posted: 08-31-05 15:14pm
Banger,
i'm 38 years old and have been through
menopause because radiation but just
wanted to say that hot flashes can be
extremely troublesome. There is a lot of
information out there but it's just like
anything else - different things work for
different people. My flashes don't so
much soak my clothing anymore (it just
feels like my head is so hot it is going
to blow off--lol) and sleep with the
airconditioning on 64 degrees f, the
ceiling fan on, as well as another fan
blowing on me. I flip covers on and off
all night. Some of the things i've been
told and read to help combat the hot
flashes and other symptoms of menopause
are but not limited to:
reduce or eliminate caffeine, take vitamin
e, there are many herbs that suposedly
help, soy, hormone replace therapy (i
caution this one without lots of research
on the patients part), diet changes
there are so many things that may or may
not help that I can't possibly list them
all here. I know that I sleep with my
hair up and that actually helps some.
I've been having the flashes for over a
year now and hope they stop one day!!
My best suggestion would be for you or
your mom to do a google search of
menopause or menopause remedies and start
researching and trying things. Good
luck!!!

ever since I started using
progesterone cream in july of 2004 I have
not had hot flashes. And I had been
having them quite steadily since I was 38
[i'm 57 now].

Soy isoflavones can reduce the incidence
of hot menopausal hot flashes, and can
also help maintain a healthy prostate
gland in men. Soy isoflavones including
genistein have a weak estrogenic effect in
the body that can be either agonistic or
antagonistic. In other words,
phytoestrogens can either mimic or block
the effect of estrogen.
Hi, I found a hrt alternative which is
really natural. It is a hrt bread and it
really helped me. I was on pills before
and I had a lot of side effects but this
is all natural and has relieved so many of
the symptoms. Someone is selling it on
ebay called the hrt alternative bread.
Check it out. I hope my advice helps you
- menopause can be such an awful time.

Have not been able to figure that one
