Continuous hotflashes!

judy · 04-26-2009, 07:59 AM

I take 3 low dose prempro every week. It keeps my hot flashes to a very livable level. I only have very mild ones when I drink coffee or something. Nothing to even notice. I agree with you Diana. I like being a bit warmer all of the time, but that's not hot flashes. They are so awful.

I honestly do not trust a lot of the health food store products. They aren't required to list the ingredients and they are not regulated by the FDA. They really could put anything they want into pill form and call it Black Cohosh.

I met a woman in her 80's at the doctor's last week. She is still getting night sweats!!! Does it ever end?

Is that prescription Judy? If I go back to the Premarin, it's one every day.

It is prescription. You don't have to take one every day. I only take 3/week. My doctor suggested that I cut back slowly to as few as possible, so it has been over a two year period that I went from 7/week to 3.

Does it make a difference if you go through the change nautrally rather then haveing a hystorectomy (sp)? I started in my early 40's and have not had any problems with hot flashes, maybe just flushes every now & then but i can handle those cause i am cold blooded anyways.

Yes, you get estrogen from the dr.

Lynne, I think women who have an early hysterectomy have more symptoms, but it really depends on the individual woman.
