    I tried DIM briefly last year and I'm about to try again. I will post my thoughts on it once it has been a month or so.

    Most ppl I know have reported best results with evening primrose oil and vitamin E.

    I have been using black Cohosh for a month and feeling better. less hot flashes ...not 100%. A friend said to try Estroven. Black Cohosh is main ingredient. I am getting it today and will update if it works. I'm trying very hard to keep thing natural.

    I'm guessing we are all there too some extent! It is like. . . . . NO interest. Enjoyable if hubby initiates, but it is suddenly last on my list.

    This is me! As if hot flashes, weight gain and flabby arms are not enough now my libido is taking a vacation.

    Maca is also a cholesterol balancer.
