Amberen Safe Menopause Relief

So far, so good!! I've been battling hot flashes for the last 3+ years (after a hysterectomy) and I've been miserable! My Dr put me on a testosterone hormone cream last year, and while it worked to stop the hot flashes, it left me with some undesirable side effects. The worst was that I lost all vocal control. I LOVE to sing. I was a decent vocalist, but since the testosterone thickens the vocal cords, I had lost all control in my upper register and became totally unable to sing anything above G below middle C! It sucked. I had almost accepted the fact that if I wanted to control the hot flashes, I wouldn't be singing again. I was mad and scared and devastated about it. I was complaining to a friend about it one night and she recommended the Amberen. I looked at their web page, read all the information,and contacted my primary Dr to see if Amberen would be safe to take along side my other meds. I even called the nurse they have at Lunada Biomedical to ask some questions. The the Dr seemed to think I could use this in addition to the meds I was taking, but the nurse at Lunada said that I shouldn't take it in conjunction with the testosterone cream and the progesterone cream I was using. I had to make a gut decision, and I fearfully discontinued the creams so I could let the Amberen do its thing. The first week I took it, I had just a few moderate hot flashes, enough to spook me, but not enough to bail the new efforts. By the end of the second week, I hardly noticed any hot flashes. I have completed my third week on the Amberen and I'm happy to report that the few hot flashes I've had lately have been quite mild and pass VERY quickly. It is recommended that you take a full 90 days of the Amberen and then go off it to see how long you can go before symptoms return. The friend who told me about it said she was symptom free for over a year. If the symptoms return, they recommend another 90 day course. I like that the IDEA is to get my body back on track so it can regulate itself, and the goal is NOT to have to take the Amberen as a supplement for the rest of your life! (WAY different philosophy than big pharma thinking!) I have high hopes for the success of Amberen. I feel like it has already made a big difference for me. The best part... my vocal control is returning!!! I can actually carry a tune, and I'm regaining the ability to sing in higher registers almost every day! I'm probably about 75% of the way back to normal and improving daily. I can't even express how delighted I am to be able to sing again! By taking the Amberen, I am able to get the excess testosterone out of my system and get back to being ME!
