I am only 43 and still have regular periods but I woudl swear I am having hot flashes. I will be sitting here and just out of no where my back and shoulders and the back of my neck will feel like I am about to internally combust.

My DH is always complaining because I am so hot all the time, but if I don't have cool air blowing on my, I will start having these incidents. We go back and forth with the air conditioner. Mine may be because of my weight and I am sure that doesn't help, but that heat wave that hits me on my back is not just weight. That flows through me, my mood changes quickly, and I feel like if I don't get cooled off, I will explode. Makes a person very iritable, or at least it does me.

My doctor tells me, I am too young and since I am still having regular periods that I am not going into menopause, but I would swear I am, periods or not.

I just wish if that is what it is I could get rid of the periods. I'm ready for those to go away.
