Re: Menopause
I used the sage capsules for years, they take a few weeks to 'kick in' as it were but they do work very well. Another thing I have done in the past is, believe it or not, suck on a frozen tip top or even an ice lolly, yeah I know, sounds obvious, but it works almost instantly.

You might be better with the homeopathic format then Patsy? I have always found Ainsworths very helpful if you talk to them.

Re: Menopause
I went through that at about 48 yrs old & mine were at their worst that year & I'd still get them the next year but less often.Last year & this year (I'm 51 now), I don't think I've noticed them. Everyone is different. My husband made me a hand fan, lol during my 1st year having H.F.'s.
My doc also said they can linger off & on for years. I get hot normally anyway (why I dislike our bl**dy hot summers) but I got used to the spells.
Hopefully you'll be lucky & won't have them for long. Did your mother have a long history of hot flashes? I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation but maybe.
