47 here and until recently (for the last year and half) I've had severe hot flashes during exercise and frequently during the day. They, and night sweats, were frequent until I discovered soy isoflavones - plant estrogens. I can't take HRT as I'm at high risk of breast cancer so soy has been my saviour. However I was still experiencing a reduced number of flashes.
Recently I consulted my gynae nurse and she suggested I take a drug called Dixarit (Clonadine - a migraine drug) which has had a profound effect upon the hot flashes/night sweats. In fact I haven't had one for a whole 6 weeks...Result!!
Still mad as a Menopausal Mad Hatter though!
