Every since turning fifty, I’ve been dealing with the side-effects of menopause… I get tepid flashes throughout the afternoon.
- Without any warning, I begin feeling extremely hot.
I sweat profusely, but my clothes and hair become wet. The tepid flashes are far worse at night, making it hard to sleep. I also struggle with frequent insomnia. I go to bed and just kneel there for hours, unable to fall asleep. Once I manage to drift off, I typically wake up in an hour or many and beginning the process over again, however another symptom of menopause is leg cramps. They also are more severe at night. While I’m already having difficulty sleeping, our calves begin to cramp and keep myself and others awake. The pain can get quite severe. I’ve researched unusual medications for menopause, and they all include long-term side-effects that are more more devastating than sore calves, feeling tepid and trouble sleeping. I would appreciate to utilize natural remedies! Living in New York State, medical cannabis has been legal for some time. I’ve been reluctant to go through the process and pay the expense for a medical marijuana card that would only last a year, recreational cannabis has finally been legalized in New York. I assumed that meant dispensaries would be opening up right away. Instead, the process of handing out licenses to dispensaries and determining all of the restrictions has been truly long and tedious, but from what I’ve been able to find out online, recreational cannabis should be available this December. I particularly think that cannabis products are the solution to our many symptoms.
