Hi Patty: Sorry you are in such discomfort from your hot flashes. I also have them although not as often as you. I find that I experience them mostly at night and only occasionally during the day. I know this sounds crazy but I have found it really helps me...When you feel a hot flash comming on just relax and breath deeply and slowly. I think of it almost like when I was in labor and trying to get through another contraction. It doesn't stop the hot flashes but at least for me it shortens them and they are less intense. The best thing about this technique is that it is totally drug free. Hope this helps. Take Care, Linda
