Entering Menopause Posted: 06-02-07 01:38am
I started menopause at age 48, I am now 59
and I am still going thru it. When I
started I went on premarin for the hot
flashes they were so horrible. In the last
year I have gone off premarin 3 times and
the hot flashes resume, this last time I
was off 3 mos until I couldn't take the
flashes anymore so I started backup
yesterday. Why do I after so long still
get hot flashes when I try to go off the
premarin.

not sure adriean, let me look into it and
I will get back with you later,
I went though menopause at 48 but was all
over it in a year. I never had to take
anything.. I'll get back with you.

Adriean, It is not uncommon for some
women to have hot flashes uo to and beyond
10 years. Have you ever tired some of the
over the counter remedies to see if they
work.? My sister uses black cohosh and
she says it helps her a lot. I know there
are a few items on the market now that
contain black cohosh.. Good Luck
