I am 63 and well passed menopause. These "sweats" only started after TM hit.
But, if you say that "Maca" helps you cool off when you "start" getting
that warm
feeling, I will say something to my doc about it for me. Right now I am
wearing a Clonidine patch on my arm. Not sure it helps much, but doc said
that is about
all there is to take for this problem. He said another one of his patients
moved to Montana to be more comfortable year round. I live in Missouri and
our summers
get pretty hot and humid. Today the temperature index is to be 102 degrees.
Hate that!
Wish us all luck and comfort,
Janice

Hi Janice
About the sweats: I had them so bad that they would make me sick to my
stomach, ready to pass out. I found that the heat could not go down, it could
only go up - I mean from the waist up. I thought it was medication reactions,
I thought maybe my kidneys were acting up. Then I realized that at 47 it
could be "hot flashes".
I started taking Maca and low and behold, most of the problem has disappeared.
However, whenever I get hot, or am too active, or in an uncomfortable
situation, and sometimes for no reason at all, I will drip sweat - it runs
down my back, my front, my face - yuck. But, like I said, for the most part
the Maca takes care of the temperature issue.
Don't know where you are on the grand calendar of life, but I found that it
sure helps for me. Whenever I feel the body heat begin to climb, I take some.
Don't know if it is related to my age, but it sure helps the temperature and
the sweating.
P.S. Ladies don't sweat, they perspire! Ha Ha Ha!

Would like a count of those bothered with "the sweats" - the really hot
drippy sweats, even when in a relatively cool atmosphere. My doc calls it
"disautonomia". It is the pits. Have it some in the winter, but it is
really a problem in the summer. Anyone else, male or female, have this
problem?
