I'm 5 years post and really don't have any problems with flashes any more except at night -- or actually first thing in the morning. Onvce a day, like clockwork.

I seem to wake up every morning between 5 and 6 soaking wet and anxious.

I've tried modifying diet, various herbs, magnesium etc. but nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?

Yeh, count your blessings! I don't know anyone who has them just once a day. Most have them on and off all day and all night.

Dear Lydia

Just want to say that I am four years post. I am still getting fairly frequent daytime flashes and other symptoms but I am just like you as I wake every morning with a big sweat and horrible anxiety, it is like clockwork and I am sick and tired of it. Also I experience a feeling of queeziness on waking which I am also completely fed up with. I send my sympathy.

Hi Simba:

Yeah. I have the sick stomach also. Today it and the anxiety have gone on all day for no known reason. Total pits. The worst part of it is -- I have the queasy stomach AND I'm starving. I wish I could be more like my dog - - throw up and get it over with.

Someone posted that ACV, Bragg's organic is what I use, is helping her with the hot flashes...perhaps it you take it before bed it will help you with the night sweats... I take it in 1/2 cup of warm water, 2 T. and sip through a straw so the acid doesn't harm my teeth... It doesn't cost that much and is worth a try...you could add honey to help with the taste! It is cheaper at my local Kroger's than at the Health Food Store!


Best Wishes,

TJ
