Lucky you. I had similar history. Here I am, 66 next week, and no end in sight. Thankfully I learnt the trick of turning the pillow over so I can start off again with a cool side. DH, as he gets older, likes to have the covers up around his ears, so it might be separate bedrooms for us in future. Mine nice and cool and he can get his as hot as he wants. I just dislike having that "flush" in the face when I "flash". At least I have a built in heater on these cool days.

Some of my friends call it a "personal tropical vacation". And... re the HRT, quite a few years ago it was determined that staying on HRT for a long time increased the chance of cancer, so most doctors in the US encourage you to ride it out... it will usually go away. I went through "surgical menapause" when I was 48 and had a complete hysterectomy (including the ovaries, as my Mom died from Ovarian Cancer). I was started on HRT, but stopped after reading the reports about it. Initially after that, I had some trouble with the flashes/flushes, but eventually they subsided.
