I am going through Menopause. I am not taking hormones or anything else at this!

I am going through Menopause. I am not taking hormones or anything else at this point.?

I am coping pretty well with the physical symptoms, night sweats, hot flashes, etc. I am having a lot of trouble coping with the emotional aspects. I feel like crying most of the time. I am very irritable, and I have absolutely no patience. I have trouble concentrating and I can't remember anything. I really don't want to take hormones, which I know would help, but I am afraid of the side affects plus I have a family history of cancer. Has anyone out there found a safe alternative to this that has worked well for them?

There are some natural things you take, you can get them at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, or a health food store. It will say right on the label for Menopause. I too don't take hormones, so I don't know how those would work, I know the natural helps some, but not as much as I had hoped. Actually, some weeks are better than others though, so I guess I can settle with only being weepy for a week or so rather than weeks at a time. Definitely helps the night sweats.
Good Luck!

You have to wonder how someone came up with the idea of taking pregnant horse urine anyway??!! Who would want to take that on a regular basis?
