my hot flashes seemed to go away when the cold weather came (where are they when you need them?). the other symptoms (the nausea and that awful nerve sensitivity thing) also faded. but now that the weather is warming up, the hot flashes are back. so far they are mild and always come at night or in the early morning while i am still in bed. the other symptoms have not returned. we'll see what the rest of the year holds
Thank you so much for your blog. I came across you through "My Menopause Blog" and am very grateful for the insight into women going through this process in 'real' life.
If you wouldn't mind I would so appreciate your insight into how you view the appropriate responses to these symptoms - i.e. when to seek medical assistance? when / what treatments you see as the most appropriate - which you see as ones to avoid, etc.
Again, I am looking for one woman's 'real' experience and insight.
Feel free to e-mail me, or respond to this comment or make another post about it, whatever you prefer.
I'm just really struggling right now with whether I need to focus on self-help, involve a gyn (ask for test - if so what), consider BHRT or just accept or lots of in betweens.
Thanks again!

I have increased nerve and/or mucsle sensitivity and am nauseous but have not been able to find much information on these symptoms of menopause. Have you come across any information?

I wish I could find more info about those symptoms, but I haven't seen much. If I find anything, I will post (even though I haven't posted on this blog in months!)

Thanks for this article. As a newly web, I considered all menopause blog, but ended up registering with http://8menopause.com. We all understand the struggle and confusion that women can experience as they go through menopause, and the importance of having good information for making healthy decisions. So, I believe people will enjoy reading this blog and found useful things. Thanks!
