Just go with it Cathy - laugh it off (after all, you can't do anything about it and laughing is better than crying!)

So, if you go a bit pink, in company
a) don't stress about it
b) say either
- oops, tropical moment
or
- ah, power surge!

hope you get something to help. I got all this to look forward to!. dont think i'll be allowed HRt either, cos of stroke I not allowed some hormone treatments.

have you tried the HRT Cake?

I don't know too much about it but I think it was made by a female doctor who was fed up that male doctors didn't care too much about the suffering women went through during the menopause. So she did research and formed this recipe - loads of women swear by it - it probably won't give instant results but maybe worth a try.

Also include a lot of soya in your diet thats supposed to help as well.

This is probably the cake that Emm is talking about...
