As for menopause and hot flashes, I've been in perimenopause for, seems like 5 or 6 years now. I'm always too hot. The slightest thing I do makes me sweat. I keep my house at 68 or 69 degrees Fahrenheit. I'd like to actually have menopause and be done with this.

I started menopause around 42-43. My dad was dying at the time, so in between caring for him, going from hospital chill to senior living establishment over-heating, and going on antidepressants to deal with everything, I didn't really notice the process of menopause. I can't really recommend this as a coping method, though.
Before menopause, I disliked temperatures over 80 and was fine down to ~50 F. Now that I'm on the other side I hate temperatures over 80 and I'm fine down to ~50F.
Zenkitty, you deserve ALL THE PAINKILLERS. Or, well, legal amounts that won't cause respiratory depression and kill you. But right up to that line.
Stephanie, you are amazing, and we are blessed to know you. Keep rocking asylum, wonder woman.
Steph, I have ALL THE legally allowed PAINKILLERS.

And I am careful and prudent about taking them!

Yes, you deserve all the painkillers, but that means you have to post every day so we'll know you are okay. Loopy posting is also acceptable. I saw those x-rays and it hurt just looking at that break.
Loopy posting you shall have!
Thanks for worrying about me.
