Hi! I am new here. I am 46, will be 47 in a couple of weeks! I am starting the peri and have been having hot flashes on and off for about 3 months.

Anyway, someone told me to try MIGRANE ICE and put one on my chest or back of neck. Guess what...it really works. It stays cool for hours and is a huge help when I have to be out in public!

At home I can peel off clothes, sit in front of a fan, etc. My hardest time dealing with these flashes is out and about!

When someone sits near me, I feel crowded and hot and like I wanna get up and go! Does anyone else feel this way?

I cannot use soy products due to my taking thyroid medication, which is unfortunate!

And I don't wanna use cream or hrt or anything.

Guess I am gonna try and tough this out on my own! My Mom is always telling me how she got thru it without using anything!!

I have nightsweats now and then too, but is better if I don't cover with many blankets, only a sheet!

Well enough rambling for now. Hope to talk to you soon.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jennifer!

Actually you can, as long as it's 4 hours inbetween the soy and the medication.  Be sure to let your doctor know, though.
