Haven't talked to any friends today to ask them what they call it here.
I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 33 because of cancer and was told that I couldn't have HRT. The first months after surgery I had very severe waves of heat if I went from outside into the warmth of a shop. A few times they were severe enough for me to black out. I got to know the local ambulance men who would come to deal with me. The shops just want to get rid of you. The ambulance men would ask me if I'd finished shopping and needed to go home or if they should just drop me off round the corner. I came here for a holiday at the end of June that year and it was hot all the time and cold when you went into shops! By the time I went back to work at the end of August I was over the worst. I don't remember it being called anything - flushes, flashes - I guess I never talked about it except with the ambulance men!!
