[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be 50 in less than a month.  I have 2 elementary school kids.  My period totally stopped 2 years ago, never had one again.  My problem is that for the past 2 years, I have had the worst hot flashes, several times per day and night, more than anyone I know.  My older sister had nothing like this, my mom had a hysterectomy years ago.  I take the one a day vitamin for menopause that helps a little (only because I once ran out and found out the hard way!).  Is anyone else going through this -and if so, what are you doing. I feel very alone in my suffering!  Also, my dr. is hesitant to prescribe hormones since they are cancer causing.[/quote]

Read the above. Apparently HRT is safe if taken in low doses and starting at menopause. It is only cancer causing if started &gt;10 years after menopause. HRT also protects women from significant heart problems. [/quote]
