Meeting the Heat

If you ever wanted to know why you are having hot flashes/flushes----check out this article from the NY Times. I sort of wonder, however about the hot flashes being caused by declining estrogen -- my estrogen levels are still at premenopausal levels, but I started having horrible hot flashes about 7 years ago. They got worse after my hysterectomy. Progesterone cream was magic for me----started using it on a Wednesday, by that Saturday I was done --- completely done --- with hot flashes.
