I'm 47, but went through menopause very early as did my grandmother (36), so I have been post-menopausal for some time now.

I also have a 2 1/2 year old, God help me.

For TEN YEARS I have suffered with horrendous, intense hot flashes all day and all night.

I'm wearing down. Ugh.

I also experience the intense vaginal itching I read about in another woman's post.

I suspect it may be related to vaginal dryness, etc, but I'm really not sure.

I only know that it seems to happen at night mostly, and nearly EVERY night and it is intense in the clitoral area as well as on the labia majora/minora. Just horrible.

The only medication I take is Zantac twice a day (for GERD related to this horrendous post menopausal period in my life) and I have thought it might be related to that, but I'm hoping to connect with other women here to learn more about it.

I just ordered the women's multi from the company associated with this site and I'm hoping those will be helpful to me, at least in prolonging good health and wellness.

Here looking for support and hope.
