I never really did have much in the way of hot flashes, mostly just periods of feeling too warm or waking up feeling too warm, but nothing to really complain about. After I went into menopause 16 years ago at age 50, I haven't experienced much of that at all, just ann occasional feeling that I'm a bit warm and I have to get out from under the covers on the bed for awhile. Then after a bit I'll realize it's fairly cold in the room and I'll start to feel that. I've actually experienced this a bit more lately, so I wonder if it's due to having less fat on me!
