Hi everyone,
Since I posted this in June, I have had minimal relief and those damn hot flashes have actually increased.

I have taken the Black Cohosh suppliment for nearly 9 months and stopped them in Oct because they were literally useless now. They worked for about two months and stopped.

I eat a healthy diet and don't over eat and I keep gaining weight. I'm so uncomfortable in my skin and I feel sluggish with the extra weight as well. The hot flashes are just awful. I have them timed to every 9 minutes! This is just too much. I keep getting nonsense from my doctor that it's normal and will eventually fade but this is going on for way too long now.

I have taken up bike riding to try to lose weight and I ride daily for about 6 or more miles. I'm still gaining weight! I used to be fit, thin and never gained an ounce until this year. The night sweats are unbearable too. If I so much as move I'm sweating. It's at the point I dont' want to go out of the house because if I hold a conversation with anyone, I'm sweating like a pig and it's quite embarassing.

Any suggestions? My doctor is useless. And, yes, I've even switched and got the same answers. How long am I to expect this to go on?
