    I went through this when I was 40, now 64, I got very sick on the Synthroid, my hubby threw them in the garage and said you will have to live with the sweats those thinks are going to kill you, so my MIL told me to take vitamin E and it should quite in 2 to 3 weeks, I did and never had another night sweat. It worked for me hope this helps you.
    Have a Blessed night

    I had a hysterectomy when I was 32, due to endometriosis. I went on hormones at 34 and took them for almost 30 years. No problems and I am now 75 and so healthy. Am so glad I took them. I was in Dr today for physical and Dr said I am in such good shape for my age. Take no meds except calcium and vit. E Never suffered any sweats, hot flashed etc. Guess I was very lucky.

    I went through that a few years ago, like when I was about 40. I'd get so hot at work that I could use a bath towel to wipe myself down. It just seemed to go away eventually, but sometimes I still get hot.

    My heart goes out to you for sure. I started at 32 had surgery at 34 and continued to have hot flashes daily for years (I'm 55 now). The doctor finally put me on medication and after about 2 weeks everything fell into place. My husband said I was a "new woman". Poor man. I was only able to stay on them for 2 years because of the risks but for 2 years I felt great. I've tried soy, black cohosh and numerous other things but nothing worked as well as the prescribed meds.

    Yep, been there! My hair would look like I had just gotten out of the shower. Vitamin E, Estroven, and organic soy milk.

    The doctor told me not to drink any other kind of soy milk because it is linked to breast cancer. Japanese soy milk is the best if you can find it.

    For several years now I have had a problem with sweating and thought it was just me. I am sorry others also have this problem but glad to know I am not alone. I did try harmone replacement but it did not help. I have tried every deodrant on the market and the only one that I have found that helps with under arm sweating is ARRID XX Extra Dry. While this keeps my under arms dry it does nothing for the rest of my body. I am hoping that someone can offer advise to end this problem.

    Black Cohash is what has worked for me. I've already had one blood clot so I can't take hormones. So thank goodness for Black Cohash. I have not had any side effects
