If so did you ever run a slight temperature? My periods have become irregular but haven't stopped. During the past week which matches my PMS time I have been having weird fevers. At first I thought I had a flu. A friend thinks it is hot flashes. I am spotting today and have all the signs of starting. Around the time the fevers started I had a pain that would probably have been ovulation.

You are probably in peri-menopause which means you may just be starting menopause. The change of life progresses over a period of years, so it's not uncommon to experience the symptoms even before the periods stop for good.
However, hot flashes aren't necessarily accompanied by a fever. You could be running a low-grade infection. A typical hot flash is a sensation of intense heat from the chest area upwards to the face. This is followed by profuse sweating. When they occur at night during sleep, you could wake up with your nightclothes drenched with sweat.
If I were you, I'd see your gyno to determine whether you are actually approaching menopause, or if there is something else going on.

My wife had hot flashes while her period was irregular but before it stopped - maybe a year of overlap

it sounds like you need to go to the Doctor. you should not run fever with natural changes in your body.
