Thanks for all the information on Osteoporosis!
Thank you Still Blonde. There is a lot of misinformation out there and I found this Osteoporosis article simplified things.
Oh, how I wish I would have read this while I was going through the dreaded big “M”. It was the pits! Women everywhere will appreciate this!
Thanks so much Denise. That’s very kind of you to say. Spread the word Reaching out is IN! Suffering in silence is OUT! I also deliver women’s health information, news, and tips for post-menopausal women. Hugs, Ellen
Hope this helps somebody. I’ve had severe night sweats for 5 years, since having an ovary removed. Drenching sheets multiple times a night. Tried a dozen treatments, mostly oral hormones, that didn’t help at all. Black Cohosh also did nothing. Then, tried Gabapentin. It stopped the night sweats completely! But made me feel spaced out all day –not an acceptable trade-off. Finally tried Oxybutinin. It’s been less than a week, but so far the severity of my sweats is drastically reduced and I’ve had no side effects! Don’t wait 5 years. Keep after your doctor until you find something that works. Good luck everybody!
