I have tried every alternative treatment out there that can afford and am not able to see a Dr because of no insurance and not enough $$ for a check up let alone treatments. I wont use HRT unless it is bio identical HRT. But I cannot afford to see a Dr. One appointment is over $150.00 in my area. Really high priced medical care here. (That is sooo wrong not to mention greedy.)
My hot flashed started at age 51 and I'm now 54 going on 55. They are not getting better. You name it, I tried it. Progesterone Creams , suppliments like Estroven..including soy, red clover, Flax sead oil....so many other things also.
I'm going crazy here. There must be some way to feel better. I'm still on all these things and have been for a few years with no success. I keep hoping they will kick in if I keep with it.
Some body please help me!
My mother never had hot flashes and neither did my step mom. And they both smoked tobacco and drank coffee! How could they be so lucky? They, neither one, used hormones. My Step mom even had a total Hysterectomy. They gave her hormones but she dumped them down the sink after 2 weeks. She never got hot flashes or night sweats like me. I wish I knew what do do.
