hi, last year i thought, hot flushes not too bad, keep me warm in the winter, ha how daft was I, now, through the night and all day, dizzy, red hot, on fire, sweaty, awful, cant count how many a day, clothes on and off, i even go and stand in the chiller at work mmmm heaven. what im wondering is how long they ll go on for, i know everyones different but cant think of this for years, what a nightmare, im not taking anything for meno problems, just high blood pressure tablets, my sister s lasted for less than a year, but then she just stopped her periods and has had hardly any problems at all, (she even done a pregnancy test cos everything just stopped) lucky thing. just wondered what the average time was for flushes. thanks
