According to the literature, it's due to the disregulation or malfunction of the hypothalamus, which controls our temperature.
Wow.

Not a mini flash on no.
It lasted probably over an hour.

I had finally HAD IT!!! Lying under multiple blankets, heat was pretty high and nothing made me warm.

A warm shower to the rescue!

My wife always liked this one for the honesty!

I’m good during the day but I found lowering my heat to 65 and blowing the fan directly on me and freezing my husband to death works wonders during the night.

I’m so glad the days of hot flashes and night sweats are over. I could be up two-three times a night, drenched like I’d run a marathon. Showering and changing sheets a couple of times a night was common. It was awful, and I was exhausted most days.

Finally, we can stop talking about periods.

How about the sore boobs for 2 weeks? The irregular bleeding. The fatigue. The pressure in your head. Right now I have no in between temperature. I'm either hot or cold. Thankfully I still have my libido but i do have insane vaginal dryness

Estroven. I found it helps a [b]lot[/b] with flashing and night sweats.

I did not get that stuff. Maybe because in the geographic area of my house there wasn't any bad news about menopause as such, and I never paid attention to missed periods before.
My relatives who did get the symptoms took estrogen pills and feel much better. It's risky but people think it's worth it. Doctors prescribe those.
