Sorry about the hot flashes, Starr. I never had them but I've known many who did and they seem very uncomfortable.
And they last FOREVER!!! At least for me they are. I'm actually on my third round. Started at 38 and going strong at almost 60.
I can be found most days in the freezer section of the grocery stores.
For me sugar is my trigger food. One would think I would give up sugar, right?!
Thanks, TFW. You're lucky to be in that 10%.
Camper, I've had them for a few years, and happily, they've always been mild, & only last a minute or two. I have no idea what a trigger food might be, cuz they don't seem to happen after eating. The B12 has decreased the frequency, but since they're mild any way, the "intensity," I guess you'd call it, hasn't changed much. It might be a bit milder. Let me know if you decide to try the B12. I wait for vitamins to go on sale (preferrably BOGO), then grab a handful of coupons & get them for less than half price. Supplements can be pricey!

I ha.ven't been running about this, because it's hard on my emotions. Daughter is on her way to Japan, with a crazy 10-hour layover in the Philippines first. sShe's about halfway there now... 4 hours down, 6 hours to go before she reaches the Philippines. Last night on Skype she looked homesick. She's only been gone a week and I miss her so much already!
She'll be in Japan for one year, teaching "Americana" to Japanese middle school students. This is so bitter sweet for me, a great opportunity for her, but terribly missing my only child.

I can imagine!!! Agreed it's a great opportunity. Just tell that to yourself when your really missing her.
My daughter ( only child too) moved out this year and lives 10 minutes away. we have family dinner once a week and it kills me to still not see her every day.
Thank you, dear. That means a lot to me. I can't write about it much right now, cuz it leads me to melancholy, but I knew that I'd have support when I came here, and I was right.
So thanks.

I'm here whenever you need to talk. Send a private message if you would prefer.

Is there a chance that you might be able to fly over for a visit around 6 months from now? You'd get to see her and also see Japan together.
