Anyone out there my age (50) going through menopause? I'm trying to get a sense of what helps and what doesn't. For the past two years I've had very few problems, i.e. mostly regular periods and very few hot flashes. I have been taking all the "women's" herbs, and eat and drink lots of soy. Now, though, I'm getting more flashes and less regular. Plus am hungry ALL the time. So even though it's finally nice weather and I'm getting out for a ride every other day, I'm gaining weight.
Has anyone tried Hormone Replacement Therapy? If so, how has it worked, and has it affected you in other ways? I want to get some firsthand feedback before I go to see my doctor.
