Hi, I'm calling on behalf of UPMC McGee Women's in Central PA. I would like to invite you to participate in a call with Melissa Ladeker. She is a certified registered nurse practitioner and menopause certified practitioner to learn about midlife women's health. Please stay on the line and You Menopause is 51 to 52. So when we say the word menopause, this really is just meaning the last final menstrual period right after we've gone a full year without any bleeding or spotting in women who still have a uterus. But we know that the symptoms that precede that time frame can really vary from woman to woman and can last upwards of 10 years. That ridiculous. It is not fun if there are many men on this line, just so you know. But tell me this. So someone is calling in. Thank you for this call already. So star three and you'll get us. And she's saying, I'm only 35 and I feel like I'm starting perimenopause. Is that possible? Because I can't sleep and I get hot flashes all night. Help. The answer is stay with us. 100% yes. So we know again that average age of the final menstrual period is 51 to 52. But that is just an average. We had someone Women do start their perimenopausal symptoms in their mid to late 30s and may stop menstruating in their early to mid-40s. So although that is on the younger end of the spectrum, the symptoms are absolutely real and could be menopause. Well, so the hot flashes. So she's saying about the hot flashes. Thank you for the question. I'm sure many people can understand this. What causes these hot flashes? Yeah. So we're doing a lot of research surrounding this topic and we think we're getting somewhere with this. We do know that the hormonal declines of perimenopause and menopause and that fluctuation, that hormonal rollercoaster that many women describe that they're on during this time can really impact that thermoregulatory center that is in the brain. And we think that is where the hot flash really comes from. It's from that hormonal fluctuation and decline during this time. So it's not spicy food, it's not Mexican skin or chili powder or the fan is not on because your husband's cold, it's something else. So I would say there is definitely a physiologic basis behind what is going on. Now you brought up a great point, because we do know that spicy foods and caffeine and smoking and alcohol intake, these are all things that can absolutely make.

Just last week, 8,277 people got Nomorobo protection!
Absolutely fabulous. I wish it worked on Verizon Wireless too.

It's great! I recommend it to anyone who'll listen. It's a free service I'd gladly pay for.
— Dan M, Nov 29th, 9:22am
Great through this last election ad cycle...I still get a couple of survey calls that ring four times...

Trying to stop or at least limit Robocalls almost became a part time job for me. I would diligently try to use their "press 5 to be removed from our list" [yeah, THAT works!], & even more diligently report the numbers/caller ID in complaints to the Do Not Call Registry. Pretty much to no avail & a losing battle. Then I read about Nomorobo. Gave it a try & OMG, what a difference! An IMMEDIATE difference! A real Godsend --- The peace is wonderful. One little ring & then nothing. Thank you so much!!

I an on the do not call list, but it hasn't stopped the robos. Why don't you turn these people in to the do not call list and reap the fines for yourself??? If you need my permission, you have it.

This is a service of the telephone company, right? They provide the phone service and they are the ones to ensure they are used properly, right?No?The telephone company doesn't care if their service is used by scammers and annoying callers?They provide a Caller ID so we can decide if we want to accept the call? But only if we go to the phone and examine the caller and number? We still gotta go to the phone, right? Why can't somebody just intersept those calls and stop the ringing?Somebody did?! And it wasn't the phone company?An independent service? And it's free?THANKS! Nomorobo! You enhanced our quality of life and for bringing peace to so many >>> you should receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

This service has been a godsend since I signed up last February. I had been getting up to 8 robocalls a day and it is now obvious that most of them who had been trying to get thru using multiple numbers, different caller ID's, and sequential calls have given up. Aaron has given us all a weapon to help end the war on Tele-scum!
— Bill, Nov 29th, 11:29am
It has a been a "peace-saving" tool around the house. Can we expect, in the future, not to have the phone ring at all, or the phone number on our TV screen show. That would make things even better. Those robo callers are like the enemy, they keep trying "trick" us into getting up and answering their calls. We must stay one step ahead of them.
