Interesting, here we tend to call them hot "flushes" and you say "flashes" - I love the differences between our common language.

That interests me too, Angie. I had a fairly early change of life, nowhere as early as Tink; went in to perimenopause in my early 40s, and had my last period in July 1974!! A very happy day; always hated periods and never had any intention of using my reproductive system, so I was delighted to be rid of it!! And I was fortunate in rarely having hot flashes; one of the women in my office really suffered from them: she'd turn beet red with the perspiration pouring off her right there at work with everyone watching; I felt so sorry for her!
Personal musings aside, I do think a visit to an endocrinologist would be an excellent idea; something is definitely out of whack with Tink's hormones, and she needs some relief ! Pronto!!
