After hearing that I will be racing down to the health food store in the morning for some Wild Yam Root.
How wonderful it worked out like that for you.
Your right my attitude about menopause isn't really positive right now. Friend is not what I'm calling it.
Appreciate your sharing!

Chick - the evening of primrose oil comes in pill form. There are different potency levels, which I am confused about. I bought a new one at a higher level, but what I have been using seems to be making a big difference.
My doc also put me on Effexor, which is normally used for anti-depresant but it has also been proven to be 60% effect in controlling hot flashes. It helped cut down on my hot flashes and now the primrose oil seems to be taking care of the rest of it.

Because of my breast cancer, I'm very cautious about what people say they take for their menopausal symptoms. I heard at one time anything with yams in it was not good because of hormones. Is this a myth? I've never heard of primrose oil. wtcoach....how did you hear about it? And yes....I've been putting up with this for 15 years at all different levels of "heat." I went thru a stage that I ruined the clothes I would wear because I would sweat so much. I didn't have "flashes." I would sweat all day! Now I'm having "flashes." And they are really hot!!!
Good luck to you all with your "flashes."

Evening of Primrose Oil is natural - it is similar to flaxseed oil and borage oil. The best thing is if you do a google search on it to get more info. Someone who is into natural health recommended it to me. I googled it myself and based on the info, decided to try it. Maybe you can ask your dr. if it is ok for you.
