      Me too. I'm sitting here after a cool down(after the sweat has come and stopped but still present), covered in sweat but freezing. This cycle is constant. I am also miserable.

      I'm right with you ladies.
      Stress really brings on a hot flash. I can be discussing something with my husband and if the conversation is about a situation in our family that's an issue, I immediately go into a flash. Then I have to leave the room and go outside where it's cool or cold, to get relief.
      Of course the hubby thinks I'm escaping the conversation by leaving, ...lol..but no, I just can't stand there dripping wet and suffering trying to concentrate on the conversation.
      It's miserable.
      When I DO have a night sweat, I'm dripping wet and FREEZING while I'm SO HOT at the same time!
      I really don't want to go on estrogen, I just want it to stop!
      I also have restless leg syndrome so I spend most nights jumping and dripping wet.
      I have thought I will never get true relief until I pass.

    I am utterly miserable in menopause. Hourly hot flashes day and night. Poor sleep. Sleep apnea. Why are there no effective treatments. My PCP is working on it, but I have other medical conditions to factor in.

      I use melatonin with passiflora, helps, my friend use melatonin with cbd oil, you can sleep better. Also magnesium and high D 3, 5/10 k per day, Relaxing solfeggio musisc, joga, nature helps too but I wish there be some herb or thing to make those flashes away..

      You nutrition is EVERYTHING! If you’re not eating healthy, you lose in every way.
      Need tons of omega 3’s and avoid omega 6, 9’s
      I’m down to 1-2 meals per day usually a healthy meat and a huge salad.
      I feel things turning to the right direction…. I feel good and more positive with more energy and losing inches not pounds. But not trying to lose just less stress and less cortisol

Why don’t they talk about what they go through and what they do and stop acting like they’re not pre-menopausal or menopausal they’re almost acting like they’re talking about another species and not themselves it’s weird.

    No! I am appalled that the Cleveland Clinic would recommend SSRIs and Gabapentin for hot flashes. Especially Gabapentin. Please NEVER take Gabapentin for anything. This will literally alter your brain chemistry and contribute to dementia later in life. There are so many other more natural treatments.
