It was a lifesaver for me! I order it from vitacost.com as they have the best price. Follow the instructions on the insert and you will not believe how much better you will feel in no time! I am so grateful for a friend who told me about this. http://www.vitacost.com/emerita-pro-gest-cream-4-oz-4momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-84407075587433323902014-01-31T09:37:48.376-08:002014-01-31T09:37:48.376-08:00When I was growing up my aunt (my mother's you...When I was growing up my aunt (my mother's younger sister) lived with us. This was wonderful because it meant that there was always a lap to sit in, that wasn't occupied by an older sibling.<br /><br />When I was in my teens, both my mother and my aunt entered their 50s. I remember sitting at the dinner table and watching first my mother, then my aunt, take off her cardigan. Suddenly. It seemed like pretty crazy behavior to a teenager.<br /><br />I decided that I would never be like them and that I would never, ever, own cardigan sweaters.<br /><br />Now I'm on the other side of 50. And, yes, if you open the drawer of my dresser I have lots and lots of cardigans.<br /><br />Funny how as we age we discover just that our elders were very smart and not just very quirky.<br /><br />I haven't, however, started keeping a kleenex tucked into the sleeve of my cardigan.

A jacket can be easily removed during the power surges. Eliminating sugar from my diet made a difference for me. It took awhile, so give it time. I now only have occasional really hot serges. Generally they are much less frequent and more easily tolerated.

I started having them more than ten years ago, and while they are of lesser intensity and frequency now, I still get them.
