[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 44. I don’t have a one medical doc, but I’d see your gyn. What helped was: getting a hormonal IUD to make periods disappear and using estradiol gel. This is best done by your gyn. [/quote] Thanks, I would like to stay away from systemic synthetic estrogen because I had a suspected blood clot from a high dose BCP in my 20s. I am interested in topical or non hormonal remedies if possible (I’ve seen magnesium mentioned for sleeping through the hot flashes). [/quote] FWIW, for control of hot flashes you are looking at topical patches, which are indeed systemic (vs. vaginally dosed estrogen, which tends to stay more local and is good for vaginal atrophy-type symptoms). I did not find this at One Medical and ended up paying out of pocket to a CNP in Takoma, but my insurance reimbursed all but a portion and has covered the drugs as normal. [/quote] Thanks, good to know![/quote]
