I am Sally, 42, recently divorced and single. I have been enjoying my time with two grown up kids. I’m posting to share my experience with Femestra the Menopause Supplement.

Last fall, my daughter Ria enrolled for a course in nursing and moved to Utah. My son Ralph and I have been taking care of each other since. Ralph is what one calls ‘the ideal son’. He is responsible, caring and independent. He has been working part time and earning a living since he was 15.

Last winter at dinner one evening Ralph was excited and shared details on his new project. Usually, I would hear him out and offer him my advice but that evening for no reason whatsoever, I blew my top. I shrieked at him and he was very surprised as was I. I’m a calm person and I had no idea what triggered me. The rage was momentary but erratic behavior. That’s not me, I thought! I apologized to Ralph as soon as I regained my composure. I was restless that night thinking about the incident.

My anxiety seemed odd but after other incidents I noticed a pattern. A few days later, the delivery boy from the local pizza place bore the brunt of my obnoxious mood swing. Delivery was delayed by 10 minutes and I was very hard on him.

The guilt of these mood swings and outbursts kept piling on. I started avoiding speaking with friends and some family to avoid my mood swings. I was really hurting inside.

A few days later, I got these hot feelings around my abdomen at night. I woke up and found myself sweating. These hot triggers just came like a flash and then vanished. It was a sleepless night and I kept wondering, what the hell was wrong with me. It was early next morning that I decided to visit my gynecologist considering these events, and that I realized I had missed my period for the month.

After hearing me out, my doctor suggested that it may be pre-menopause. “Already?!” I shouted. She advised me to relax and this natural change will fall into place. After a couple of follow up appointments and blood work, my doctor eventually prescribed pills to alleviate my uneasiness, or as I call it rage! It was comforting to know erratic mood swings and hot flashes are normal during menopause. On the way back home I decided to get the better of menopause.

That night I took the pills and decided to get to bed. Around 1 am I had the hot flashes again. They were momentary but scary. I was sweating profusely and not able to sleep. The next morning at breakfast, I was very edgy and again acting agitated toward my son. After he left for school, I felt like crying. Life seemed like a nightmare and this had started really racking my nerves.

I had to take control of the situation and started to look for alternative remedies and options for menopause. I wasn’t patient waiting for this medicine, and researching the medicine made me uncomfortable with the possible side effects. There were many over the counter solutions available but the web was full of too much information and side effects of the over the counter supplements. I decided to get in touch with my old school friends and seek their advice considering they are my age and probably experiencing the same things.

Paula my friend from high school, and neighbor was suffering similar mood swings and hot flashes. She advised trying Femestra a natural supplement that contains rice bran oil extract and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) and try it for at least a month. Paula said she’s been taking Femestra for more than 6 months and results have been really good. I researched Gamma Oryzanol (which is the active ingredient in the rice bran oil) on the web to read about its antioxidant properties and effectiveness in relieving at at times eliminating the symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, mood swings and loss of sexual desire!

I immediately ordered Femestra and started the daily dose of two pills. For the first few days I did not feel any different, however, after a week I started having fewer hot flashes. I felt happy and continued with it. After two months I felt I had regained my lost composure and the hot flashes were gone. I started getting my regular seven hours of sleep. It just makes sense to go with something natural. My body didn’t change overnight when menopause began, so I knew it would take some time with the right product to get my old self back. Even though it’s natural to go through this change in life, there’s no need to suffer so badly.
