Most often inductors are used to block AC or high frequency signals. This is the dual of what capacitors do which is pass AC or high frequency signals. The precise definition of what is high frequency is a bit loose and depends on the circuit values.
I am 50 and have been in menopause for about 14 months. Since April of last year, I have experienced periods of INTENSE hot flashes and night sweats - sometimes 30 within 24 hours! These periods last 6-8 weeks and then the hot flashes reduce in intensity and occurance gradually over the next 10 weeks. Then, unfortunately, they start again.
Hot flashes affect about 85% of women during the years immediately before and after menopause. Menopause usually occurs around age 51, but hot flashes can begin as early as 2 to 3 years before the last menstrual period. Hot flashes can last for 6 months to as long as 15 years after the final period. The average is two years. Some women have only a few episodes a year, while others have as many as 20 episodes a day.
