I hear you sister! I am 53 and periods are very few and far between now, but the "flashes" are plentiful. We call them "Power surges" at my house. Even my 5 year old grand daughter will see me fanning and say,"nana, you having another hot flash?" I went to the dr. and they wanted to put me on hormone replacement therepy, but I said, no dice. I will deal with the heat. WHen available I will run to the freezer and stick my head in for a bit. The best to place to be when one hits is the freezer compartment at Costco! I have tried all the herbs and still "flash", but vitamin E seems to work best for me. Good luck and if you find something that helps, please pass it on.
