I put my hair up and that usually stops it. I am trying to stop drinking caffeine - I love diet pepsi and coffee. It is hard but right now I just have warm fronts - hope it never gets any worse. Elizabeth

i dont think of them as hot flashes...i think of my inner child playing with matches!!!! i just drink cold water, jump in the shower or get under the fan.

I don't know about you but the worst time for me is when I go to bed. I am unable to sleep, and then I start to have panic attacks.

I know what you mean zoezig....that's when they are at their worst. Only thing I've found that helps so far is to keep the house cold enough to hang meat! LOL My boyfriend is freezing but he understands.

Caffiene will bring on hot flashes and night sweats. So will smoking. Wear light clothing. Good Luck.

If you find out let me know.I sleep with a fan on my face.Sex trigers mine.

well, you all make me feel normal, and funny, I like the innerchild playing with matches I got a kick out of that. I have been timing mine like child birth, I can now feel them coming on and I'm on fire, they are so much worse now for me than warmings, and one wonders why I can't do much who can when your on fire and then I freeze... never happy that is me I'm 47 and hot every hour on the hours or so it seems....

I would try eating 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed twice daily and see if that helps. I know it has me. I put it in yogurt or in my cereal. I do know when I miss a helping of it. Just something to try. Hugs....Beth
