When do you want to stop hot flashes? When you are burning up in the middle of a blizzard? When you are shivering next to the heater after your body suddenly sweats hot flashes away? Do you want to stop hot flashes when you wake up chilled at three in the morning, soaked in sweat? The worst thing about hot flashes is that people that have never experienced them just don’t understand how bad they can be. There is nothing worse than suffering through a hot flash only to have someone act like all of the symptoms you are experiencing are in your head.
