I was dealing with anorexia a couple of years before the hot flashes started to hit. It was at that time my period quit, so thought it was that & not manopause. After I was able to start eating a bit better & had left my husband after 33 years (ah, what a wonderful relief that was also), I had a couple of periods that hit when I wasn't expecting, but mostly just quit.

After the hot flashes quit which lasted a couple of years......ah, life is GOOOOOOOOD.

Well I'm glad that menopause is something to look forward to. I won't miss my periods at all. I can deal with the hot flashes as long as I know what is going on. Just wish my car's a/c hadn't gone kaput. I have already called the a/c repair guy twice. He keeps saying he will call me back. Very disappointing. The daily temp is around 88. I don't know how it will affect my depression though. I have been working so hard on that. I don't want that to get worse. and last, but definitely not least, congrats on leaving your husband if it made you so much happier
