Cheryl - 55

At first I just had night sweats that caused me to lose a lot of sleep and then killer hot flashes. I talked to my husband about everything I was going through and why. This helped him to understand just what I was going through. He seemed to appreciate that I was keeping him informed and involved. I really believe that talking to your family and friends and co-workers when appropriate is one of the best things you can do. They can then be very supportive and don't get hurt or angry when you are at your worst. Attitude is also very important. I believe that since menopause is a natural happening you should try to just take one day at a time. A sense of humor helps too. I work in an office with one other person and sometimes the office is hot and sometimes it is me. I just ask her if I'm flushing or is it hot in here. We both get a laugh out of it and believe it or not most of the time it's the office.

Promensil has been a great help. The night sweats eased up considerably and the hot flashes went from hard to easy. I would say that after about two months I was almost my old self. Now I only get a hot flash a couple times a month and the night sweats have almost stopped all together. I recommend Promensil to every woman I talk to who mentions that they are having symptoms of oncoming menopause.
