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.
You seem to be among the small fraction (less than 15 percent) of women who continue to have hot flashes and night sweats for more than 15 years after menopause. have had them for ten years already. I took Premarin until age 58, and then my doctor decided it was not really necessary and discontinued it. Since then I've got hot flashes again. I am going to be 61, and I still get them every day and often at night.
