What is everyone doing to deal with hot flashes? I had no idea how bad it was going to be! One minute I'm totally fine and the next, I'm drenched in sweat. And don't even get me started on the embarrassment factor. I'm so overly conscious when I'm in a meeting like it isn't nerve-wracking already. Please help me with any tips you have on how to sail through this with more grace. I'm not having it!

Hormone replacement. I tried literally everything else before going that route and none of it worked. HRT has saved my sanity. And probably my husband’s life 😂

Definitely talk to your doctor. Mine ran labs and we talked about all the symptoms I was having and she started me on a super low does estrogen patch and progesterone pill and we’ve just slightly adjusted the doses of both as my symptoms changed. It basically just replaces/supplements the hormones your body isn’t making anymore and makes you feel more like a human again. But there are some people who should not use HRT so definitely discuss it with your doctor.

I had to completely get rid of spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol, and start getting really strategic with cooling ideas like having a portable fan on me at all times, or cold compresses. It's the worst, I know what you're going through. Don't worry about being embarrassed in meetings. They're probably not even noticing like you think they are.
