Hello traceymark1 and welcome to the forum.
One of the good things about this place is that every conceivable experience is represented here so there is always someone to help or inform you. As an example I can tell you that I've had hot flushes, but never the soaking ones, I've been seriously pissed off with people although that seems to be lessening now and I've just re- discovered nausea! I haven't gained much weight, I avoid dairy for digestive reasons and I am on HRT.
I'm sure other ladies will be along soon.
Wishing you well on your journey and take care.
K.
