I don't get the electric shocks but do get the itches sometimes. Drives me crazy! Hot flashes, too - but only if I am idle (like sitting in a meeting), and at night.
I am 56 and had a complete hysterectomy 3 1/2 years ago. The hot flashes started about 6 weeks post surgery and have continued, though they are not too bad. I asked my (now 87 year old) mom how long her hot flashes lasted and she said, "Oh I think they stopped a year or two ago." GREAT!

If it cheers anybody up, I had no menopausal symptoms whatsoever so maybe they aren't guaranteed.
My mother had nothing either, so maybe it's hereditary but expectations might play a role, so keep that in mind. I don't really know what a hot flash is but I guess I'd know if I had one.

I had one hot flash.
It felt like someone had made a voodoo doll of me and threw it into a fire.
Lasted about 30 seconds.
That was it. Thank the goddesses.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X
