Clenching my teeth, ready to throw plates and I thought It was the men in my life  I can relate to the calm to anger in minutes oppppps just scared off potential jsh single men.I have always been a pretty laid back go with the flow kinda gal I hate confrentation I am open to comprimize and am flexible but lately I am so overwhelmed by emotions and aching muscles and fatique like I said earlier glad you brought up the topic. I had all that prior to 2002....then in Feb. of 2002, the red tide was no longer. After that my nerves calmed down, I'm pretty laid back, go with the flow.........but it's the darn hot flashes that still plague me. You are not alone with all the moodiness, craziness and outright *****iness that comes along with it. It is not wonder that every relationship I had in the years prior to that took nose dives and didn't last. Now that I am over all that craziness.....I can't even find a date!!!! Geeeesssshhhh.....it's so sad all the crap we go through to where we can finally feel comfortable with ourselves to find out you go through it all alone (well alone in the sense that yeah there are other woman that go through it to, but alone that there is not partner to ride all the waves of life with you).

I feel your pain! It has gotten better for me after, ummmmm, let me see....5-6 years. Vitamin E - 500mg seems to help me. None of the other herbal stuff did, at least not after the 'placebo effect' wore off - usually in about 2 weeks. I know that soy, black cohash and other stuff has helped some of my friends. I think we are all different, so different things may help each of us. I just kept trying different things suggested until I found some relief with the Vitamin E supplement. It helped, too, to keep the house on the cool side...oh, and I know sleep with a fan on...even in February! Hoping you all get a bit of relief. It realyy is the sleep deprivation that gets you, isn't it? If you kept a man awake that muych every night, I bet he'd get teary-eyed, confused and irritable, too!

There are so many issues swirling around in my head and I am feeling abit uncomfortable  because there are men out there reading about my feelings.I was married to my soulmate for only 17 months until I lost him to illness.I thought I had delt with the grief the best that I could but I think It is these life changing issues such as returning to school that take me a few steps backwards.thanks ladies for listening .

It could be any number of things....the loss of your love, the menopause thing, taking on going back to school. Or all of it....you just have to deal with it the best you can. I had several life changing things happen for me in those years prior to 2002. The realionship I was in for 6 years went down the drain, I filed a bankruptcy (thanks to the idiot of 6 years), my sister died the day before mothers day of 2001 and then my son died 6 months later. My job downsized in 2005. Was out of work for 4 months, then had to move to a new State (my hometown) to find work. Now I'm working my way back up again. Life is a ***** at times......they just never gave us an instruction manuel as to how to handle it all.

I may abit young for this(haha) no, I am just pre-men and my hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, etc, started about a year ago, my friend told me about something her doctor made her take, it was evening primrose and black cohosh tabs, they really help alot, I took them for two weeks and wow what a difference that made, I stopped with the sweats, hot flashes and feel so much better. I take them from time to time now, and I'm still fine so maybe check in with the doc about trying those. Good luck and let me know how they work for you if you try.

Gosh after reading what all you ladies are going through I feel REALLY lucky! I had night sweats and hot flashes (I call them power surges lol!) for about a year and then they stopped. I get a little warm every now and then, but nothing like the blast furnace effect I used to get!

I'll be 53 in a few months and I've only had some mood swings. Well, Hallmark commercials make me
 -- does that count??! I just would like to get started with this stuff so that I can get done with it. Practically every woman I know around my age, is going going through menopause to one degree or another, I don't know what's wrong with me.......... Five years ago my doctor told me -- it'll be starting any time now ---- well, I'm still waiting....

I used OTC Estroven. It worked great for me.

I have not had a period in almost ten years, but started having flashes about 5 years ago, and they seem to be gone. Every now and again I have a severe one, you know the kind, you feel like you are about to combust from the inside out

Well, I'm almost 55 and have gone years with no problem. I take a LARGE number of supplements and vitamins everyday, however. It wasn't until my life got a bit crazy last year with starting a new job that I quit taking the supplements. After about three weeks... yikes! talk about hot flashes.... off and on all through the day. I just thought, oh, well, "that time" has arrived. But when I started taking all my vitamins and supplements again, the flashes were gone. I mean totally gone. I don't know which of the herbs, oils, minerals, and vitamins are doing the job, though. Could be the combination. All I know is, I won't stop taking them again!

I went through those.whew glad they are over but alternative medicine PROGESTERONE Cream! WOrks miracles. And the thing with that is if your body needs estrogen that day it'll convert and if you need progesterone then that is what it'll utilize. And if you need neither it wont even rub in your skin. How cool is that? And it is over the counter! No cancer risks either

I had a total hysterectony 5 years ago and do not use replacement therapy. I still get hot flashes sometimes or am very cold, still waiting for it to completely end.
