I am a 59 year old woman. I had my cords ties at 21 years old.. I started going through menopause at 31 years of age. I cannot tell you how long I went through it , but I know It was years before It was over. Now I am getting what I think are hot flashes again. especially at night, so much so . it disrupts my sleep. Now I am having them 2 to 3 times throughout the day also. Please help. Sincerely T.
