Q: Is evamist only for hot flashes

I am 34 years olds.I had everything taken out when I was 32.Everything was good at first and went down hill slowly.I finally had enough and went to the doctor.I have been on evamist for only three days now and can tell that it has already helped with my hotflashes.I know that it will help them ,but what about all the other things like,sex drive,mood swings,sleeping, ect...ect.... I seem to have it all.So if anyone knows if this will help any of these please let me know,and if not what should I ask my Dr. to add to it to help with them.Thanks for  the help.Shannon

Evamist is specifically for hot flashes, Shannon.  What you need to add is progesterone.  Many providers do not give women progesterone after a hyst because they think of it as only for protecting the uterus.  But we all had it before menopause, helping especially with sleep and mood.  The brand name he will be familiar with is Prometrium.  One capsule at bedtime should help a lot.  Don't let them give you any substitute for progesterone because they will not help your symptoms and can have lots of side effects.

Good luck, Sandy
