@Izzyjamal so sorry to hear about your fall and the injuries. Try to keep up your spirits and look forward to being out on your scooter in the sunny days ahead.  It's okay to shout and swear when disaster strikes  I think its what keeps us sane!! 😁😁.

@aglowlady oh my goodness I do know where your coming from. I had mine 1993 the flushes didn't start straight away but boy when they did it was like a tap I went on HRT I only needed to try two different types the 2nd one was fine, no side effects no problems I was happy to stay on them for as long as needed even the doctor was happy as long as I was

2015 I had a stroke obviously they stopped the HRT and straight away the flushes have come back with a vengence. I would have hoped by nearly 66 it would have stopped when I was 39 when I had the operation but my body doesn't agree, so lovely lady I really do empathise with you 😕 xx Sonia xx
