    Same here. All my symptoms seemed to be subsiding a few months ago and I thought I was over the worst. But all back with a vengeance. Temperature fluctuates radically, mood swings, insomnia, and so on. Guess I'm not out of the woods yet.

      Yes, I seem to be flashing at least 20 times a day now. I find it hard to concentrate at work. Sometimes my co worker would look at me and ask me if I am ok.

    Don't think I'm quite on 20 so I feel for you. But people have started mentioning it. I just say I'm having a hot flush - I think it should be more recognised and out in the open; it's nothing to be ashamed of and I'm on a quest to educate people more on what happens to millions of women! ;o)  Does anything seem to trigger yours?

      Sugary foods, carbs, also any shift in my emotions like anger, especially when I am feeling stressed. Other times it just comes on it's own.
