:D :D This was my chuckle for the morning! Pam, you are too funny!!!

Seriously--the hot flashes can consume your life. Instead of hormones my doc gave me Celexa--it is an antidepressant (I needed it anyway for SAD-seasonal affective disorder) with a side effect of NO HOT FLASHES!! It has worked wonderful for me. My husband calls it my "anti-_itch" pill :-)
