For Hot Flashes "This helped tremendously with the hot flashes, and it kicked in immediately. However, after 4 weeks on this, my ankles are now cankles, and I'm holding water all over, which in turn is causing a ton of joint pain. I was always fairly athletic, and edema was never an issue for me until I began taking Duavee. I'm going to see if the doctor can do anything to counter this swelling. If not, I'll have to go off of them because this is like third-trimester pregnancy swelling, which I just can't handle. Has me sore and achy all over, and I'm blown up like a balloon."

For Hot Flashes "I have been suffering with ultra-severe hot flashes for the past four years on a round-the-clock basis. In 2014, I tried the Combipatch, which helped at first, but then it came back with a vengeance. Finally, when I couldn’t handle the heat anymore, I tried Duavee. It took a little while, but eventually did do its job, at least for the first 20 weeks or so. The heat thankfully stopped, but in its place was swelling, high blood pressure, and muscle cramping. The deal breaker came when I had an excruciating migraine, which up until now I’ve never had in my lifetime. I stopped taking Duavee. I coasted on the benefits for a while until the heat worked its way back into my life. Weight gain, eyes hurt, swelling."
