do your feet get hot too? or just your face?
Feet are so cold today that I reckon hot flashes in my feet sounds like a good thing.

It's your whole body, crikey.
And yes, sometimes a hot flush is a good thing

I take evening primrose oil with vitamin B6 tablets and found they help.

Funny how no matter how cold it is, when a hot flush comes on you just CAN'T stay under the blankee!!!!
BUT
A hot water bottle at the bottom corner of the bed is essential for before and after a flush to warm your feet up with.
It's a biological fact that it's almost impossible to go to sleep with cold feet.

i thought we would just throw out our earrings, how long do the hot flushes last?

LOL
'when you get menopause' sounds like a disease haha
My flushes last 1 minute to five minutes, but seems like 1/2 hour
It's when you get them for maybe 2 minutes, but they keep on
coming every 15 minutes. Then they're a killer
I hope I'm past that now and only get them maybe 5 times a day/night now

I've heard women say everything from 2 to 10 years. My Aunt still gets them and she's 17 years older than me!

Hot flushes can last a few yrs, my girlfriend now in her late 60's still gets the odd one.
I didnt have many, infact I didnt have many symptons at all, and didnt take anything.
