Susan, I believe that the flashes could certainly be related to the
weaning. There is a hormonal adjustment at that time.

I began having flashes when my second baby was born and I was 32.  I began
taking vitamin E gel caps--100 IU.  That put a stop to the flashes for a
few years, then when they began again, I increased the E to 200 IU.  I
continued this periodic increase until I did go through menopause in my
50s.  I reached 500 IU dosage at that time.  I felt that I had a very
smooth menopause experience and give the E a lot of the credit.

I have since discovered that it is protecting my heart too.

I would suggest that she get some E.  It will not be an instant relief, but
I feel certain that it will work in a few weeks time.

Pat
