So here it is, Fall 2011. It's been a long hot summer and as far as I can tell, it's going to be a long hot winter in my house too. I was hoping my hot flashes and night sweats would start to ease up soon, but I was wrong they have come on stronger and with a vengeance!
I just started adding vitamin E to my supplements to see if that helps. I've read several reports of women finding some relief with vitamin E. If it just eases up enough so I can sleep, it will be a huge improvement.
I want so much to get excited about the holidays for my son, but between the lack of sleep and the constant daytime feeling like your going to faint dead away, it's hard to stay cheerful.
I also have been dealing with a fair amount of nausea which I was not really aware of as a symptom of menopause until I did some reading.
This is like pregnancy on steroids but you don't get a baby in nine months. Worse, it goes on for years! About five so far for me. I'm gonna just say it: Menopause sucks.
* I'll let you know if the vitamin E helps :)
