Hi Gransnetters

I am post menopausal and have recently started having hot flashes again at night and some during the day. Has anyone else had this after going though the menopause... is it normal?

Me too, and my mother was still having them at 86,

Me too at 73. I couldn't cope without my gel cooling mats in the bed and under my pillow. I haven't used a duvet since before the menopause, just have a sheet to cover me.
How lovely and cosy it must be for those who snuggle under a quilt.

15 years for me as well. It's not as bad as it was but I still do get sweaty a few times a night. For quite a few years it was all day and night. I kept saying to my DH that one day he would look for me and find my charred slippers by my chair and a smoke stain on the ceiling!

It is somewhat reassuring to know I am not alone, since my friends don't seem to be as bad as me. They may have had issues for a year or two.

CanadianGran My old boy jokes that one day he’ll look for me and just find a puddle on the floor, where I have eventually just melted away!

I started having night sweats 4 months ago at age 66.
Blood tests et all fine ?
