I like you cannot have HRT due to medical conditions. I have now been referred to the Menopause Clinic. Hopefully they will give me some ideas of what can help.
I got through Peri Menopause fine albeit mood swings, occasional flushes, weight gain etc but the Night sweats I can't cope with along with the daytime flushes and joint ache. Here's hoping something comes from the clinic Maybe ask your doctor if you can be referred?

I cant take HRT either and my GP put me on a low dose of beta blocker which does help a bit. I have read good things about the anti-depressants though. Hope you get some relief soon.

Glad its not just me … I could sit and cry some days when I have to go to work .I have to function on a couple of hours sleep .I have tried most of what everyone else uses apart from magnet .Don't fancy having paper clips stuck to me every time I get up . Just shows what works for one doesn't always work for another . My routine at the min that's the best so far is cold room , This Works sleep spray and 2500gm sage tablet . Cant believe there isn't a cure for this yet ...Bet if BLOKES suffered there would be lol 1

I've been going through the menopause since 2012 and I've tried quite a few things.
GP said no to HRT and she basically told me to go away and just get on with it. I tried the magnet which didn't work for me. I used the wellsprings serenity cream for about a year and it worked really well for me then they improved it and it stopped working for me. I recently started taking evening primrose oil tablets and they do seem to be helping a bit.

Thank you everyone for replying. My gp has given me Citalopram to try. She took my bp and as it was 104 she decided against clonidine as she thought I would pass out on it as it reduces bp further ☹️ There were a few others I couldn’t have with having the lupus anticoagulant as well ☹️. Fingers crossed the flushes reduce and I can can some sleep. It’s an awful thing to endure every night and my heart goes to any fellow sufferer . I just want to be normal again xx

I have suffered really bad hot flushes during the day and night. I am currently taking magnesium and turmeric and black pepper. The flushes have reduced since taking the turmeric. I haven't been able to stop the murderous feelings I get though and I have to take myself away from everyone and tell them to keep their distance. DH thought I was just being totally moody and moaned all the time about it until I nearly ripped his head for nothing one afternoon. I hope I am getting closer to the end now as my periods can now be 4 or 5 months apart but then occasionally I can have two in the space of 6 weeks.
Its a tough time and I feel for us all. |

Excited about Disney
|
I take evening primrose oil, starflower oil and menopace (normal version) and soy isoflavanes. This seems to be working so far - fingers crossed anyway. Not been to the GP yet, trying to put it off as long as possible. My last period was October - I had nothing until this and then the flushes and night sweats. Hoping it will be over soon ...

I’m not too bad thank you. I’m on fluoxetine which is helping and has reduced the flushes down but I do have a few intense ones still around 5am but I am getting a good 6hrs sleep , I just feel tired alot though. The tablets are desensitising me though so I’m going back to talk about that And the tiredness . The chillow is really good though.
How’s everyone else ?
