joyfull, i am also going through the change, like you at 44 its a tad young, but then i did start everything eles early too! the doc put me on hrt, and boy has it helped, no more hot flushes , i did have to double up on them , but now its all fine, took a few days to come to terms with, came out of the docs and cryed, i wanted to choose, not have it taken away from me, oh well at least i can choose to quit smoking,,,,,,,,,,,,nobody or anything can do that for me !
oh and i did read a couple of weeks ago that heavy smoking can bring menapause on early :quest:
