All I can add is that Mrs Zoid went thru the worst of it just about the same time I became diabetic...so we passed each other going in opposite directions, before I was hot-natured & she could never get warm enough, suddenly she was the human furnace & I was bundling up to get warm...ain't life a bitch...

Also, the doc now has me on Niaspan to get my HDLs (good cholesterol) up, which can have hot flashes as a side effect...caught me one morning a few months back, & if what I felt was even half what you ladies get, you have earned my sympathy...
