Answer by Emily
I’m not in menopause, but raspberry tea helps me smooth things out sometimes. My mother reports that the Chinese use rosebud tea to help regulate periods and make the flow easier to manage, but be prepared, because it doesn’t taste all that wonderful.

Is it a hot flash that’s lasted for 3 straight days now?04.26.10

i’m 40, no signs yet of menopause. been on fire internally for 3 days now with no relief. i don’t feel sick and it doesn’t feel feverish. my skin is normal to the touch. i just can’t cool off. it’s all day and all night! my face is bright red-almost sunburned looking. if i keep going outside to cool off in a t-shirt and shorts in 50 degrees, i’m going to get sick. doesn’t hot flashes go in spurts? any other suggestions besides going to the doctor?

After giving birth-night sweats, reg. sweats, chills, off and on (1 or 2 a day) for the past 4 days?04.22.10

I gave birth last tuesday, 12-26, and I’m breastfeeding. For the past 4 days I’ve been having night sweats, sweats in the day, chills, headache once or twice a day, and then I feel fine. I dont have Mastitis as I have asked my doc this, she said if there’s no red streaks (there isnt) then it’s not, but engorgement, which I’m thinking might be the case. BC my breast get really hot at times (oh and milk has come in, nipples were cracked, but healed, was having trouble latching on, but since last night, bettter on both.) and I did not have Gestational Diabetes, but diabetes does run in my family. so much info but i really want to know if any of you pregnant moms who breastfeed have ever gone through this? is it hormones? i was anemic, but doc didnt have problem w/ this bc it was at a good count before i gave birth. is it that? i had a c-section, but cut is healing fine, there was a flare up on the right side, but i’m putting ice on it and it feels better. please let me know!
