I started HRT when hot flushes worried the kids I was teaching. Used to turn
bright red and then look like I'd had a bucket of water thrown over me.
Stayed on it for at least 15 wonderful, feeling 16, years and then had to
stop when I had a knee replacement. Been getting them to a lesser extent
since then, and heard from a doctor, who specialises in menopause problems,
on the radio a few weeks ago that, if you've been on HRT, then the hot
flushes can come back when you stop it and can last for the rest of your
life. Great. She suggested (a) putting up with it (b) asking if you can go
back on HRT or (c) trying red clover.
