I have such empathy for menopausal women now...I had NO idea how yucky hot flashes could be.

I am still running which seems to help and I no longer drink alcohol <sniff> but are there other things we can do?

Catalina - have you looked to see if their are supplements that are recommended to help with hot flashes? If it were me, I would start there.
