Very very good!! Oh my one recent experience with my first (very early I hope) hot flash....well I went to ER cuz I thought I was going to expire. I thought it was a heart attack or a stroke coming on and I drove straight to ER. Men miss out on so much in life. Melinda

Re: facelifts. I have been thinking about one, and a "tummy tuck." (It sounds so -- cute -- just a little tuck, not like major surgery, which of course it is.) If you ever read The Washingtonian, there is an ad for a plastic surgeon that runs every so often, a woman probably my age, before and after chin job, and the difference is remarkable. I don't read The Washingtonian that often, but was shopping yesterday at Tyson's Corner, and now the plastic surgeon has the same photos on one of those free-standing kiosks, the kind that has the map of the mall on one side. She isn't a gorgeous woman, kinda nice looking is all, but the chin job took maybe ten, maybe 15 years off her face. I don't know what you look like, so I don't know if you would benefit from one, but if it makes you feel better, why not?

Re: menopause. I am not there yet, but I am perimenopausal. I do want to have my hormones tested. My periods have been getting worse for about a year. If I am around younger women (women in their twenties) I start menstruating. We had a young receptionist at work, and then she quit, and then she started working there again, and it made my periods go haywire. I started using progesterone cream, and it made my periods go even crazier. Don't know if I should see a gynecologist or an internist or what.
