If you find anything let me know. Black cohosh has never worked for me, Siberian Rhubarb with Vit E always helped me better but it’s not doing anything now. I walk barefoot in the grass every morning and I exercise more now than I have in years past. Just can’t figure out why things have gotten so strong with all of my bloodwork and saliva tests show I’m past menopause. One thought I had a week ago was that some of the supplements I take also benefit blood pressure. Blood pressure medication works by dilating the blood vessels which is also what causes hot flashes. That’s why I thought maybe some of my supplements were interacting with each other, causing vessel dilation which was in directly creating hot flashes, but after a week and being out of the country with family and not taking any supplements, nothing has improved. :(
Yes, my boyfriend takes niacin and was telling me that was one of the symptoms, however I cannot take a multivitamin because my body does not like zinc and I do not take niacin supplements. I really think from another comment that it’s probably the steroid shot and pills I took earlier this year. I spent the afternoon researching steroids and hot flashes and I am shocked at how much of a correlation there is that no doctor ever tells you about that. Now I’m trying to search for ways to work all of that through my system faster. I really appreciate everyone’s help,
