nobleheart: Thank u so much for that. I am going through premature menopause, my doctor says i am at the peak of it and have probably been going through it for the last few years. I wouldnt wish this on my enemy, but i do understand that many women can go through the menopause with no ill effects at all.

WatfordFC: it takes 12 weeks to get into system but greatly helps. estrogen free called remifemin. hot flashes so bad you want to spend the night with running water on you because of the hot flashes, try this, it helps. it did me anyway, was going to lose my job cause i wanted to sleep away life, sweeting so bad was up most nights taking cold showers, not coments from men please... thanks. no prescription. not costing that much. has worked with 5 plus of friends so i do recomend it. it has helped me in moods and hot flashes.

WatfordFC: Vitamin E works best and no side effects.
