Thanks Brian...will look up Charm's posts. My real concern, here is not time...it's the switch off from hot flashes at 50, to the opinion to go to 25 and then the switch to 100. I tend to have a short fuse with docs these days and the radical change just doesn't seem right to me. Also having problems finding info on the whole hot flash thing with men...find plenty on women but not on men. Appreciate the advice Anne and Brian and will track down Charm's posts for sure.
