How do women get through the change of life without HRT?

Saw my doctor last night to discuss the menopause (which has been confirmed by blood tests). He is reluctant to prescribe Hormone Replacement Treatment as I have high blood pressure which he prescribed medication for instead. I get the sweats during the day which is really embarrassing cause I work in an office and have to keep having a quick blast of my desk fan. Has anyone got any real suggestions how I can combat this. Thanks.How do women get through the change of life without HRT?
If you are symptomatic, and many very fortunate women do sail though the menopause with few symptoms, then HRT has never been bettered as a method of relieving symptoms. Only yesterday I read a journal article critical of its current under-use due to a failure to balance risk with benefit. Both patients and doctors are almost as guilty in this respect.



If your blood pressure is controlled and of course it should be, you can still be prescribed HRT. If as it seems your GP is very unsure of his ground, ask him to refer you to a Specialist Menopausal Clinic. Here you will get all the information as to both the risks and the benefits for you as an individual.How do women get through the change of life without HRT?
Some women have HRT but I reckon this, while effective, delays the symptoms, I have a friend who had none until she came off HRT.

My mother soldiered on, but it wasn't pleasant.

She said it was best when she was busy or engrossed in something,mind off herself sort of thing.

We didn't notice the hot flushes unless she called attention to them!
There are some natural therapies out there. One of them being Vitex and one called Women's Balance (containing paeonia, Rehmannia, Dong Quia, Cyperus, Black Cohosh). i would seek the help of a Naturopath for their opinion.
