I have just been googling about hot flashes and came across this:
'According to conventional medical wisdom, menopause-related hot flashes fade away after six to 24 months. Not so, says a new study of women going through menopause. Hot flashes last, on average, for about seven years and may go on for 11 years or more.'
I can't countenance this going on for the next 11 freakin' years!!!! I had assumed it would just be for a year or so.
I don't have mum or any older lady to ask- so for those of you older than me (48)- how long did you get hot flashes for?
Thx Helly
