Re: Probing the mind's role in hot flashes

That was interesting. My question is do some women have hot flashes that go on the rest of their lives? My mother is 89 and she still has them at night. I should be over menopause and still have several hot flashes a day. I asked my gyn and she said she had heard of it but it usually stops. Just curious as I had the worst one I have ever had yesterday afternoon. I actually stood out side in the freezing PA weather until it subsided. Mary L
