Yep, that's when the hot flashes started...I'm about to be 52 years old. The night sweats were the worst - I could not sleep, and seriously thought I was going to lose my mind. The day-time ones sometimes made me have to lay down, as I would get dizzy.
I tried several herbal products (I hate pharmaceuticals) and no WAY would I consider hormone therapy, but I finally lucked out!
Complete Balance, manufactured by Natrol. Available online - I found it on sale at my local Rite Aid. It's not expensive, and after ONE FULL MONTH of taking it, I am SO much better, it did not kick in until a month on it though...just ordered 2 more months worth at Swanson, online. I've been on it 2 months now.
In other news, I'm busy dividing iris, and doing general fall cleanup - and cat wrangling.
