Hi forty92be

I also suffered with severe hot flashes and it had to be the toughest part of peri for me. I had 20 to 30 a day. I finally had to go on HRT because my quality of life was just shot.

What made mine worst was caffeine, eating spicy foods and smoking. So if you do any of those things, you may want to stop or cutback. If you aren't doing any of those things, then there are herbs that you can take to lessen them. Black Cohosh, Evening Primrose and Vit E works for some. They didn't work for me. Mine were just too severe. I finally quit smoking, and started HRT. I really wanted to go natural, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm sure someone else will chime in with some suggestions for you. Hang in there.
