I need to get some sleep. Hot flashes preventing it. Any suggestions?

Question

I recently had a total hysterectomy. I am 33 years old and I am having the worst time with hot flashes. Mainly at night causing me not to have a peaceful sleep. I really could use some help.

Answer 1

I suggest Menopause Balance Complex. It uses compounds found in plants called phytoestrogens to ease mood swings, sleeplessness, and hot flashes. Black cohosh is a clinically proven herb that helps relieve hot flashes.

Contains a standardized extract of Black Cohosh as well as Soy Isoflavones and Flaxseed. Also contains a proprietary phytoestrogen blend of dong quai, red clover, and licorice. No artificial colors, flavors, or synthetic preservatives.

Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Answer 2

ask your dr to put you on premrin its an artificial hrmone and it will stop the hot flashes and give you a peaceful nights sleep in 1997 at age 39 i had a total hysterectomy and i refused to leave the hospital without the premrin its a god send i dont have hot flashes anymore all the menopausal symtoms are over, premrin is not forever just till you can handle the symptoms without meds but i understand totally what you are going thru its a great drug for hot flashes ,night sweats and insommnia

Answer 3

If you had a total hysterectomy and a bilateral salpino-opherectomy (that ou had your tubes and overies removed too) then you need your dr to prescribe you some hormone. Generally hot flashes are due to lack of hormones. I had that problem because the synthetic hormon my body was not utilizing so I had to go to premiren. Which is an estrogen. It worked much better but I had to have double the dosage for a while to keep my heart from skipping beats.

Black cohosh is known to be a great help with the flashes. However, many people give up because they want an instant solution. Black cohosh works best after taking the herb for about six weeks. If you looking for alternative medicine this is a really good choice. Also for sleep, valerian tablets work really well especially if combined with calcium. Calcium is really good for helping sleep patterns. You might also try chamomile tea. Get the acual flowers and use a tea ball to brew the tea.

Answer 5

Get some Wild Yam capsules. They contain hormonal precursors and will provide your body what it needs to combat the hot flashes. I have seen this work over and over for women in your condition. Take one capsule, three times a day 20 minutes before eating. For the first couple of days, you may want to double the amount.

Answer 6

I tried to contact you but your email is not verified. I can really help you with this so if you could contact me I would be happy to tell you how to eliminate them all together.
I wish someone would have told me about this earlier, could have spent the last several years sleeping instead of sticking my head in the freezer at 3 am!

Answer 7

I understand what you are going through. Try sleeping nude under a sheet with a fan blowing directly upon you. You might hink that you will catch cold but the fan will keep you cool because as you prespire, the air from the fan will cool it off, keeping you cool. It works for me.

Answer 8

Something that is not addictive and has been recommended to me by many is Simple Sleep. It helps me. Melatonin also help and is also taken by my 10 and 14 year old grandkids with no side effects.

Answer 10

You need to go to a health food store and get herbs for women over 40. Black Cohosh is wonderful for this and soy products too. It would really help if you stop eating animal products too.
