i'm in peri-menopause. i've recently begun having hot flashes. has anyone noticed that eating hot or spicey foods will bring one on?

i also was hoping the hot flashes wouldn't start until after the periods stopped.

i've always had bad PMS. whew, i didn't know what bad PMS was.

this really bites. i'm only turning 42 next month, but the dr said i was showing signs of per-menopause 4 yrs ago. i had a friend who went thru complete menopause at 34. so, i guess it could be worse.

i'm done complaing for now
