Hi Grace, Like you I would like to see feedback on this subject. I know you see ACV mentioned in almost every post and you may be using it too. I have noticed that the hot flashes have decreased to few and far between since I began ACV 2 months ago, btw acid reflux symptoms are dulled to a few flare ups depending on what I eat. However, I find I am more irretable and anxious which turns into crying spells. My husband gets worried and thinks something is terribly wrong with me and wants to help. Then I feel guilty and ashamed for I have unintentionally hurt his feelings. He knows that he can be the ear that listens to me and that really helps. Then there are the little things that don't matter like putting the dishes in the right place can trigger an unwanted emotion like a domino effect.
Back to the supplements, I have started Turmeric which I feel will help with multiple ailments. Post some comments, all of us going thru or those that have been thru menopause can learn from one another. EC is number one forum for me, a daily visitor. Take care!

Yeay to turmeric, it definitely makes me feel a little better. I've just gone from only putting it on food to taking supplements as well, so hopefully the effects will last longer with the supplementation.Replied by Kt (Usa) on 09/07/2013
Ginger is great too. I take both together.Replied by Michelle (Florida) on 11/06/2013
One thing that has helped my moods dramatically is myoinositol. It's used for fertility, but I also read where it has helped people with (true) obsessive compulsive disorder to calm their tics. It has really leveled me out. I take 3000 mg a day, per what I have learned from research online. The one I take is by J----ow (I do not have any affiliation with them-that's just what I found for a good price). I have also had some luck with Maca. The dosage is really important. I started with 1000 mg grams a day, but didn't see much difference until I increased it to 2000 mg a day. This helps balance hormones and helped me with pms-like symptoms. Some women say it helps with hot flashes and sleeplessness and increases your libido. Good luck!Replied by Kt (Usa) on 11/06/2013
I neglected to mention that magnesium powder is something else that has made a difference for me.
