I have had them for years, always seems like I get chilled, cover up and that is when they hit, kick the covers off and cool down. A ceiling fan on helps a lot. Husband just covers up. Little Chihuahua get her crate covered with a towel, she freezes if cooler than 70. They are less and less, only lasting a few seconds. I just deal with them. I'm just glad to be 66, hot flashes and all.

This reminded me of when my mom started having hot flashes, and my dad told her to get over it. He would get so cranky when she'd throw the covers off, or crack open the window. He was very unsympathetic and rather mean about it, like it was something she could control. She finally just gave up trying to sleep in the same room with him. Then he got cancer, and his cancer treatments gave him hot flashes. THEN he decided that an air conditioner in the bedroom was an absolute necessity!

I take womens menopause one a day vitamins and Remifemin estrogen free. My hot flashes are rare now, plus my nite sweats are disappearing but I still have some mood swings. I just put my headphones on and sew. Life is good.

For me it was early menopause at 29. Finally gave in and went on HRT because I could not stand it any longer. Have been on HRT for 38 years now but still cannot get off of it totally. Gradually reduced dosage and taking a vegetable based HRT. I would love to be off the meds but will stay with them as long as necessary. And my DH would appreciate I would stay with it until/unless I HAVE to stop taking.
