Take large doses of Vitamin E until it is time for hormone replacement therapy. It does help.
I feel so old with my kid talking about her hot flashes.

Can we talk about hot flashes and other menopause issues?

Look on the bright side, severe sweating could also be a symptom of major liver damage. Cross your sweaty fingers.

oh, just wait until your periods start spazzing out too. You'll be all happy to go 3 or 4 months without one, then when it finally comes, all that
backlog will be happy to just flow right out of you.
You think sweating is bad, try getting up out of an office chair only to have about a gallon of blood fall out of your insides like someone burst a water balloon full of it in your uterus. My husband didn't even want me sleeping in bed with him, because he was afraid if I died in my sleep, he'd be named in the crime scene investigation when they tried to draw chalk marks around the pool of blood I was lying in. |

My nan used to say that "the change" was worse than cancer. And furthermore ... that when her mother contracted it, she took to the bed until the day she died [of a self-diagnosed cerebral hemorrhage]. |

Tell me more about this hemorrhaging. My mom is 58 and has very heavy bleeding, sometimes more than once a month. It seems like this problem should be fading
away by now. Thank goodness she had her tubes tied when she was 40.
I guess I'll stop complaining about my 7 pound monthly weight gain. I never experienced cramping until I hit my 30s. |

I had a ridiculous hot flash the other day at work.
I was on a 50 minute phone call, hands shaking the entire time with sweat dripping down my back. I was soaked and nearly went home to change. Then I froze from the sweat. It was lovely. |

I don't get the hot flashes, but the irregularity of periods is a real thrill. I used to be able to set my watch by em and now it could be 28 days, 35
days or 20 days. Ugh.

at 58, she should be through with having periods
the dryness is a real pain - lube of some sort becomes a necessity I didn't have real bad hot flashes, and didn't use anything to get me though it - I was incredibly lucky - amd I used no hormones afterwards either beware of the last, final period - it can come several months after you think it's all over |

Tube tying seems to have a connection to endometriosis and 58 is old to have very heavy, more than monthly bleeding. Not to get all scary, but everyone including me kept labeling what I had as being perimenopause (wildly erratic bleeding in my 40s, sometimes nothing for months, sometimes Niagara). Turned out to be slow-growing cancer, which showed up when they finally did an ultrasound. |
