Ladies, your words have been a Godsend. I only joined the forum today, especially to find out about how other women are coping with the 'onslaught' of the menopause. Compared to what I have read I am lucky. I have just past the 6 month mark without a period! Last year I hit 5 months and guess what I started again for a few months. I not suffering from severe night sweats, just get very very hot in bed, then after pulling covers off, get very cold! My hot flushes also happen during the day but fortunately can control them at work by just walking away from my desk until they stop. A bit inconvenient during a meeting! I am taking Menopace Plus and finding them very effective, except for sleep. I have a very interrupted sleep which after a few days I do get one night of uninterruped sleep but only because I am exhausted. Can anyone recommend any natural remedy for this. BTW, the nintendo Brain Game is great for the memory, as is the Maths training
