For example hot flashes are common and the spectrum runs from mild flashes to heavy sweating!

I’ve been done with menopause for years now, or so I thought, because I still get a hot flash now and then. It seems impossible to lose weight in spite of doing the right things. Exercise is a chore now and it doesn’t make me feel better, such as increased energy. I just get tired and irritable afterwards.

Yeah I feel like exercise is something I need to do rather than enjoy like I used to, never thought that might be menopause, I’ve blamed it on my meds.

My mum recently told me she got flashes into her 60s, I guess I’m prepared for that. I haven’t had any flashes yet and have a tendency to run cold - I’ll let you know when it starts!
