The worst for me is the seesaw emotions--can't seem to control them. It wasn't as bad when I smoked-every time I'd feel myself going nuts, I'd run out to the porch and have a cig. Now I just become the Uber B**** (UB--get it? Laughing Laughing ) I really have to do something about controlling the mood swings--I've been getting really mean lately.

I don't know if I have become more mean or less tolerant. Is that the same thing? I like the UB thing! Laughing

Thanks for all of the email I received. I was just angry because I thought I was so close to being over it, just to find out the symptoms continue and I've added a new one--IRRITABILITY. (I don't know why other people insist on p*ssing me off.) I'm going to try some of the other-the-counter remedies. Can't hurt. Hope you ladies have a hot flash free day.

Tonya,
Do you mean crying? What did you do for that? Are you on HRT? Is anyone besides me still on it?

Yes, Mary, I mean crying. I was either crying or angry, or both. I use herbal supplements. A combination supplement that includes black cohosh, chaste tree, dong quai and red clover, an evening primrose oil gel cap, and a natural progesterone cream, which is applied to the skin. There are many different kinds of herbal remedies. You can buy them separately or in comination formulas. There are many health food stores in Fort Worth and the people who work there, I have found, are usually very knowledgable about their products. You can also research them on the web. I actually got my initial information from my health care company's web site. I also consulted my doctor. She is all for herbal remedies. It is working for me for now. I may have to do something different in the future. But there is so much negative information out about hrt now, I am reluctant to go that route unless I really have to.
