clootie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I found that my patches kept peeling off or sticking to my clothes! I make flapjacks with omega seeds and chopped prunes, date and figs - delicious, Recipe please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ummm, can't remember it off hand (recipe is at home) but it's a regular flapjack recipe with half syrup and half black treacle instead of all syrup. I then add some omega seeds and chopped dates, prunes and figs to the dry mix. All the rest is the same as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ta. I should have thought about it for half a second before asking for the recipe really! Common sense after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 No worries Clootie, I can never remember a recipe and this one is a bit ad lib anyway. The good thing is that Rosie loves them in her lunchbox - all that complex carb, dried fruit and omega seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wish I'd not read this thread. Hopefully (or not, depending on which way you look at it ) I have a few years left before I hit the big "M", & boy, am I not looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wish I'd not read this thread. Hopefully (or not, depending on which way you look at it ) I have a few years left before I hit the big "M", & boy, am I not looking forward to it. I have a couple of friends who sailed through it, no problems at all. Let's hope you will be one of the lucky ones Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaches Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just for general information: I heard a Menopause expert on Radio 4 a while back who said that roughly 1/4 women get bad problems, 1/4 get none at all, and about 1/2 women get so-so problems during menopause. HTH - or is just a little bit interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The hot flushes are driving me crazy - I can go weeks without any, but then they come back and they are happening every half hour or so one some days (not including the night sweats, of course.) Is it normal to get them so often? I'm a bit cautious about taking soya products, my sister-in-law swears they helped her, but I've read somewhere that it can affect your thyroid and as I've already got thyroid disease I don't want to risk upsetting things.

Alis girls Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just a thought Olly have you had thyroid function tests recently to check you're on right dosage? if not time to visit GP. All these menopause recipes - just a thought if OH eats the cake or flapjacks will he get any effects of oestrogen ( as he will eat them I know he will ) Dont want him growing boobs or singing soprano like the guy on BGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Is it wise to get a confirmatory check from your gp if you think you are peri-menipausal? Irregular periods - last two months 3 weeks apart. Flooding - a little enough to feel very uncomfortable suddenly feeling very squidy around the middle, moody as hell (but always have been). Can I assume these are familiar symptoms to the rest of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Tried that... it is a scan in jpg format and it wont let me paste for some reason...? Sorry not very technically minded! You need to upload it to an image hosting site, I use flickr. When you've done that you'll get a link. Put that link into [img*]link goes here[/img*] (with the asterix's removed) and it should come up Like: If you click quote on this post, you'll see what I've done.

..lay a little egg for me Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi all Another peri-menopausal here. I got lots of good advice from menopause matters forum. Have not had flooding (yet) thank goodness; main problems are hot flushes, not getting any sleep and lots of aches and pains (and spreading waistline, but that might be because of spending too much time reading the All Things Nice section of this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it normal to get them so often? YUP Some of us do I reckoned two years was enough. I was happy to see if things smoothed out. They didn't so I'm back on the pills and I feel wonderful ... like I've been let out of a dark miserable prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I found that my patches kept peeling off or sticking to my clothes! I make flapjacks with omega seeds and chopped prunes, date and figs - delicious, My husband woke up with mine on him I gave up on them, they gave me big red circles and I was scared of the breast cancer risk. Would love to try the cake though. The flushes went but seem to be around a lot at the moment. Does it help the memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
