[quote=Anonymous]It varies widely. First, that is a lot of hot flashes - I don't know how you handled it. I get about 10 a day, and have for about 10 months. The worst is that when it happens, I can think of nothing except getting my sweater off and some relief - sometimes I get nauseated. In the night, I sleep with three pillows so there is always a cold one to hold against my chest. If I get one in the shower, I get faint. In some ways the worst part is that I feel like I am never comfortable. I wear less clothing to avoid the hot flashes, but then I am underdressed for the rest of the time. Not everyone has this happen. I used to drink 4 glasses of wine a week, and am now down to 1. That helps.[/quote]
