Hotflashes w/o Menopause?
Hi all, I am 44, had hysterectomy 2yrs ago, took cervex and uterus, I still have my ovaries.. so yes I get a cycle every month just hard to tell when b/c no flow..
I don't know what the #'s are, but my gyno says my levels are no where near meno or perri meno, for the last 2-3 months I'm having these hotflashes every 20-30 min all day,, I'm fine, then all of a sudden, the back of my neck gets real hot, and the heat spreads from there.. to the point I'm stripping off layers, sometimes down to my bra! I am on Dicloxacillin (last week or so) for abscess in breast, but hot flashes were there b4 that.
I'm on 500mg dilantin/day for epilepsy,
10mg warafin/day for unknown clotting disorder, ,
.0125synthroid/day for non working thyroid,
I also have this chest pain thing, wakes me up at night, like a tingling in center of of chest, (like when your foot falls asleep and it's waking up, only 10X more painful at its peak) it starts, peaks, then subsides, all in all 20-30 min. before i can get back to sleep, DR did stress test, heart fine, said to take antiacids, am doing that, & don't help, this last one I had last wednesday, I had a seizure with it.
(note: I was not upset, freaking or hyperventilating,)
my seizures stem from the part of my brain which control blood pressure, (very rare).
What ARE THESE HOT FLASHES? tried to get in to see doc, but he's booked(of course).
Please help

Hello & SO sorry for your discomfort. I suffered terribly from hotflashes-to the point of it ruining my life! I tried hormone replacement therapy & everything from black cohosh...to anything else you can imagine. I finally found a total help in the oddest place LOL. A friend sent me to a psychic, because she felt so bad for the decline in my life! Anyway, this psychic recommended taking turmeric powder- 1/5 of a teaspoon 3 times a week. I thought, what the heck? So, every Sunday, Tuesday & Friday I faithfully took my dose {doesn't have to be exactly 1/5-as it does not have any side effects} & OMG!!!!!!! My hotflashes went down by about 80% & were much more manageable. It takes a few weeks to get into your system, so don't think it's not working until you've at least given it 2 months or so. I'd love to hear your story after trying this...it has given me back my life. BUT, I got cocky after about a yr & stopped taking this & WHOP! I got hotflashes back like a punch in the gut! Good luck & even though it seems like it's too easy an answer, what have you got to lose? Turmeric also helps in many other problems. Please give feedback so others have luck as well.
dang.. well, so far, 4 days into int increased dose, have to say hot flashes not as many a day, but the ones i have are worse.. they make me a little bit dizzy too.
