Any more ideas for hot flashes? I just stopped hormone replacement therapy - without it I have hot flashes. I have been taking them (HRT) since I was 39, now 71 yrs old. My oncologist told me to STOP. I am again having many hot flashes and I am not taking any medicine that causes hot flashes as a side effect. I am trying Black cohosh, how many days do I take that before it helps. Any more suggestions for me?

I don't know if it was suggested earlier but I've heard that acupuncture is quite good at lessening the effects of hot flashes. It is not a problem that I have so can not verify

Thankyou. My insurance covers acupuncture - I will try that.

It does work. It just takes awhile. Add magnesium and vitamin e supplements.

.Thank you. I have not heard about vitamin E - I will add that. Thanks for you taking the time to answer
