I thought it would be a great idea to start a discussion group for women suggested to me by a very dear friend. A place where us girls can go and have a chat. Hope you will all join in Would love to hear from you all

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Women's Health Support Group.

New to this but thought I would give it a whirl

Hot flashes - drown them with soy milk - Not very far into the meno thing and I was having a really bad time with them - started drinking a glass of soymilk every morning and poof - they're gone and have not come back - all Soy milk is not created equal - I use SILK Organic - can also use it in shakes or on cereal - tastes pretty good compared to several other varieties I've tried

Noticed someone mentioned creaky joints - I was having problems with a sore knee that just didn't seem to want to go away - on the advice of my sister in law I started taking 2000 IU's of Omega 3's every morning - did not take long and knee was as good as new - this seems to consistently work for pretty much everyone I know who has given it a try

Thank you Mommabear. I love the very vanilla silk. Does it matter if I drink the flavored ones?

I don't know what it is but shopping is when I start having hot flashes. I'm not exerting myself but they come out of no where. I'm going to take Mommabears advice and drink more soymilk.

Omg I thought I would get up and try to enjoy my day. The Devi himself had to perturb my peace.
Much better now after a nap. Let's start this day anew. Hi Ladies, I had a great conversation with mom. She's my love. She told me that she's trying to have a positive attitude re; her pending heart procedure. She had me in stitches when she told me that she was fishing on the island. She said she threw the rod and it became tangled in a tree and couldn't catch a fish. I chuckled when she said that.
Lizzie, the fan, I couldn't live without because for some odd reason it also helps with insomnia or maybe because I get so hot that it cools me down. Whatever the reason, I would have to sleep outdoors, which almost happened but that's another story, because the hot flashes can be intense.
Sorry you cannot get relief from a fan.
How was everyone's Mother's Day?

I was tolerating my hot flashes ok, until I developed Pelvic Floor Dysfunction/vulvadynia/clitordynia...after all that agonizing pain developed, I went to a specialist who diagnosed me with almost no hormones and I'm back on the Vivelle patch, .5 and now the flashes are completely gone within one week. I am fighting the pelvic floor pain that I hope none of you ever develop!
