After suffering from hot flushes and night sweats for a lot of years, I consulted my doctor, who told me I was well into the menopause, which is what I expected. But the last few weeks the flushes have been terrible, to the point of sweat running down my face!! Then all of a sudden they have all gone - I have not had a flush or a night sweat for over a week now, which was fab, but after a year of being period free they are back!! What is going on? Is this normal?
