Isoflavones - Menopause - help!

Gonna try the breathing thing - sounds cool.

And I think I'll see my doctor again. Last time I talked with her, the night sweats weren't that bad.

Thanks for all the discussion. It's all very interesting!

I saw an acupuncturist today who specializes in menopausal stuff. It's going to take a few sessions, so I'll try to bump this if anybody is interested.

One thing though - for the past few days I've had crushing fatigue. No idea why - maybe hot flashing at night & not sleeping, maybe a low grade virus, who knows. I mentioned that to my needle-pusher & she said that is part of what acupuncture addresses when they address menopause. It's been several hours and I DO feel better. Placebo effect - maybe. At this point, I don't care. I barely made it through teaching spinning last night - did a lot of off-the-bike instruction.

Who said old age isn't for sissies?

No kidding. Fatigue - yeah. I fall asleep ok but waking up every hour to sweat is really cutting into my REM sleep I think. I just need to get a few good nights sleep between now and my race on Sunday.... Argh.

I did acupuncture for my shins and it didn't help much. But keep us posted, I'm always willing to try it again.
