I also am very happy to find websites like this. Never had a problem until 64 and doctor thought I needed some estrogen for "dryness" issues. I was on Estriol compounded as it is not sold in U.S. but is in other countries. 2 1/2 months had to stop using as it made me ill. I realized later it was ordered too strong . My Gyn was also an Ob and specialized in adolescent pregnancy. What was I thinking !! Started very disturbing symptoms about 2 months after the end of Estriol. Profuse sweating, followed by chills, rapid increase in heart rate (over 130), dizziness and nausea in the middle of the night, night after night. I was so exhausted I ended up passing out and in the hospital. First Cardiologist, then Endocrinologist and finally going next week to GYN specialist. Of course went through the "you must be having anxiety" talk. Did I mention I am a retired Major in the Army Nurse Corps and psychiatric trained Reg. Nurse. I only mention this as I was almost starting to believe them. Thank GOD, and I mean this, I started to do my own research. Hot Flashes and Night Sweats with severe vasomotor reaction, very common. Well I say with all my heart thank you ladies for sharing on sites like these. It has been 81/2 months and they are definitely less. I am using magnesium, Vit. E, watching sugar intake, doing deep breathing , trying to control stress and thinking about Remifemin. Good luck to everyone .

I have one and love it. We don't use the cold much but probably will when we get around to replacing our old fridge with filtered water through the door for one that doesn't have it. Customer service we found to be excellent. My GC doesn't read. I wonder if he's illiterate. Anyway it didn't work and spat steam. The operator ran us through some simple diagnostics and then sent a repair person. He diagnosed it has having the tank burned up because SOMEONE didn't fill it as specified in the instructions before turning it on. New tank, no problems, and if I remember correctly, they had someone knowledgeable answering the phone during non-business hours which is rare and convenient.

Wow, thanks for posting this alisande, I know just what you mean, but wasn't aware they actually have a name for it! I don't feel 'dizzy' in the sense of the surrounding area spinning, but I'll get what I call a nauseous head feeling, because I tell people it's my head that feels nauseous, not actually my stomach. I know exactly how you feel about the sunlight coming through the trees. I live near a major city, and whenever we drive into the downtown area, I have to look down if it's a sunny day, as the sun shining between each high rise building as you pass them at a fast speed gives a sensation of flickering lights which is also disturbing. I wear those solar shield sunglasses that do help a bit if I'm the driver and unable to totally look away from the source of the problem.

Those aren't your beans. I planted mine from seeds too. They start out that way then those little pieces that look like beans will fall off and more leaves will grow. Those are just the remnants of the seeds. It takes a while before you see anything. Keep watching them! They are growing nicely.
