Roughly one year into menopause and the hot flashes are bothersome, although I really never had them until two months ago. They are so annoying, and unpredictable that I wear tank tops under my winter coat when I go shopping! I notice that the hot flashes coincided with the birth of belly fat and love handle thingies (I think the fashionistas refer to them as "muffin tops"), which I have never experienced before being thin all my life. I am just doing my best to ride this storm out by layering and an occasional power nap. Exercise is not helping me manage the hot flashes, in fact, they happen when I walk or weight train. Never a dull moment regardless of what I am doing.
