I find that depending on what I eat the hot flashes get worse or better. I am on the downside of this thank goodness, but my grandmother in law had hot flashes in to her 80's.

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

I've been dealing with menopause for quite a few years now, the hot flashes aren't quite as bad or frequent now, I hate the bad memory thing though and the chin hairs....I plucked for awhile but more and more kept coming in and plucking didn't seem to make mine any less wirey and that's the thing I hate most but this weekend I've got something new happening. This awful rash suddenly developed under my arms, under my boobs and on my neck. I've been trying everything to make the horrible itching stop and make the blasted thing go away. I started out with a paste of baking soda that didn't really help so next was a concoction of oatmeal mixed with milk and stevia, helped a little but not for long and it was very drying which made the itch worse. I've tried aloe gel, lavender oil, and I've just brewed a cup of strong chamomile tea which I will pat on after my next shower. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't know what else it could be, I have no allergies but I have no pets anyway, haven't been tramping through the woods so it can't be poison oak, haven't changed deoderants or soaps or shampoos or detergent and all I use are natural based products, I'm not on any medications. GRRRRRR, this is so furstrating and I am SOOOO open to suggestions. Gosh all friday, just when I think I'm getting through this POW, something new to deal with. Maybe alcohol....like a bottle of really good wine? ;D

well this is most interesting. I am turning 45 next week and while I still have my friend I am sure I am starting the early signs of menopause and I thought maybe that was crazy. I have just decided to try and be open minded and go with it...the hot flashes don't bother me either as I have always been cold...os this was rather refreshing...that makes me laugh in a way who knew

Thanks, LaVonna, I will send you an e mail in case I ever get another rash like this. I finally gave up and went to see a dermatologist on Tuesday and he told me it's not menopause related and gave me a prescription for a corticosteroid cream, that is working; rash is almost gone and I feel like I can go back to work today. I prefer natural solutions whenever possible but I was soooo miserable that I just wanted it to go away asap so I could go back to work.
