Oh man I'm 26 & feel for you...why you ask? My mom had me at 38, so when I hit puberty she hit menopause talk about the house of horrors. She's 64 now and still gets occasional hot flashes (I hear that's normal) it was the house of I love you I hate you's for a while between the two of us, I get why my 20 year old brother moved out. I would suggest herbal cramplex, daily multi vitamins, WALKS, water & if you don't already have one a pet, all these things helped my mom, and trust me it was rough!!!
