I am 55 and I have been having hot flushes on and off for 4 years or more. For the last few weeks these have become more excessive and I can have lots in the day and even more at night. I am totally exhausted and struggling to function. The strange thing is I have a hot flush and after each one I just crash with overwhelming tiredness. This lasts for about half an hour I then feel reasonably ok until the next flush. I am even considering going on hrt even though I have tried to ride out my menopause using natural supplements. Is anyone else suffering with extreme fatigue
Yes I am ,I am 58, been having them for about 7 years, never tried HRT as I have migraine, tried lots of supplements, now have anxiety and depression as well, with all the suffering I have been through, had a melt down 11 weeks ago big anxiety attack, on prozac now , 10mg but it's not helping my flushes, the only thing that did was mitazapine a anti, that I went on first but it keep me awake all night, I am sitting here in bed now, I now will be quilt off ,quilt on, all night, every night, then through the day as well, with bad tiredness, I will see how prozac go,s I am only 2 weeks in, but the higher you go the more side effects you get,
Have you tried grape seed extract yet? I heard it works fairly well for hot flashes.
Yes ma’am. I’m just tired all the time and sleep maybe 4-5 hrs a night but that’s broken up because my fitbitbsays I’m awake or restless 7-15 or more times for a total of anywhere from 15 min to an hour total during the night.
Not heard of it before. Will check it out. Thank you
