My editor, who lives in Tampa, forwarded me a column that appeared in her local newspaper about one woman's account dealing with menopause hot flashes. While this woman's story was obviously meant to be rather light-hearted and humorous (at least to the reader!), I also have a great deal of empathy for her. I have worked with countless patients who have suffered from menopause hot flashes and night sweats that were not just annoying, but downright debilitating--just like this writer's.
Fortunately, in about half of menopausal women, hot flashes disappear within a year. If you suffer from menopause hot flashes, remember, there are effective natural solutions--including supplements and even acupressure--that can provide real relief. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is also an excellent option for some women--but be sure to talk to your doctor about this, since you'll need a prescription for it.
I encourage you to try these therapies out and find a an effective combination that works for you.
