Many years ago my husband asked me, "Why do so many women cut their hair short when they get older?" [View all]

Finally, I have an answer for him, hot flashes.

Yesterday hubby saw Hillary Clinton on TV & commented, "Hillary's grown her hair out." I replied, "She's clearly past the hot flash stage!"

I've been dealing with these for three months & this looks to be one of the most miserable winters I'll go through. One moment I'm burning up, sweaty on my head, neck & chest, & the next moment I'm chilled to the bone. I'm going to the natural foods store today to check on some homeopathic remedies. I heard yams & miso are good. Any other suggestions?
