I saw Dr. Knight for hot flashes and it was horrid. She definitively stated that hot flashes start at/near your feet and travel up to the head. Else they're not menopausal hot flashes. That's BS! If this were true, then my mom never went through menopause (plus research contradicts her). She said that menopausal women always have night sweats many many nights where they soak the bed; the implication being I was not in menopause (or suffering from if) because I did not have gobs of night sweats. She'd not heard of the research looking at treating women with Progesterone alone as an option to Estrogen & Progesterone. I think she needs to go back to med school!
