Rosbud,
Aren't you the lucky one. Now you will know how it feels. Those lovely hot flashes and night sweats. It's something. My advice, wear layered clothing. When my hot flashes hit, sometimes they are so bad I just want to take it all off, but can't so have something on that will cool me off in this lovely weather we have here in KC.
You'll freeze everyone out in the car if it hits, the kids love it? Carry a hand held fan or something to cool yourself off with. I didn't take anything, I just went thru it and still am. Good luck and the stomach shots don't sound real appealing.
Make sure they do a DEX test. They are really easy, you just lay there with your clothes on and do one once a year at approximately the same time. I had a small amount of bone loss and she wants me to take 1500 mg of Ca citrate and 500mg of Vit D. I went to the health food store and it would cost me an arm and a leg to buy a bottle and would be taking like 6 pills, that'a a lot of bottles. Next time I see my internist, I am going to see if there is a prescription that would have that kind of dosage so I can possibly run it thru insurance. The other advice she gave me is to walk 5-6 times a day for 30 minutes to reduce bone loss. Hope this helps. Take Care, K
