Hello Meno Friends
I've not posted for what seems like eons, although I do pop by from time to time. I've been a lot better lately, I'm pleased to say. Managed to come off the escitalopram in the summer and have been keeping on top of what was crippling anxiety with lots of meditation, yoga, healthy eating and volunteering. I feel I almost lead a normal life again; I can go out. I'm almost a year period free, so hopefully coming to end of peri.
The one thing that is still bugging me is night sweats, in fact, they have got worse. I usually wake up three or four times drenched. I can go to bed cold, with all the blankets, quilt and dogs (lol) on top to keep me warm and within an hour I'm throwing all the covers off. This happens several times int he night. The same happens in the evening when I am watching TV, always a sweat at 9.45 pm. Weird. Then yesterday I had first daytime hot flush, pretty horrible.
So, my question ladies is what would you try first? I'm about to put in an order to Healthspan for our vits, so I thought I could add something for flushes. Sage? Evening primrose? Currently, I just take betablockers for palpitations, Vit B12 'cos we are vegan and a probiotic. I am never going to be able to get HRT prescribed here (France) and have given up trying to discuss it with GP.
Thank you
