Hi ladies,
Well, it's 4:30 in the morning and my mom just got up again because of another hot flash. She turned 45 on Friday but has been going through menopause for at least 2 maybe 3 years. Her biggest and most annoying symptom is hot flashes, and it bothers her most when they make it difficult to sleep.
There are a lot of things she could be doing to improve her health like exercising and quitting smoking, but until I convince her on those, I'd like to know if there's anything I can suggest that she use right now to alleviate the hot flashes ASAP.
I've been searching the board and found some good info on progesterone cream, black cohosh, and sepia. For those that have or are experiencing hot flashes, what has helped the most?
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!
Thanks in advance!
