Hi everyone. Just wondering if those that have hot flashes just have them occasionally or do they have them all the time. I get hot flashes day and night. I get them when I drink hot tea, I get them when I eat, I get them throughout the night along with sweats. I live in North Dakota and somebody I work with said they wished that they had hot flashes then they wouldn't be so cold. I told her not to wish for them as they are horrible. Does anyone else get them all the time like this?
i have never had them that bad. the worst was maybe 5 or 6 a day. i've read that it helps to stay away from hot beverages and caffiene. i used to keep a fan on my desk at work and use it during a hot flash. of course my job was a big stress for me and that was when i would have the majority of my hot flashes. once i quit they reduced significantly. i am now entering my 9th year of peri and am just starting to get the night sweats. one day this to shall pass. i hope.
Hot Fashes ----No one could have them more than I did. I told my doctor I had one big hot flash a day. The only problem was it lasted for 24 hours. She just laughed. Anyhow they got so bad that she put me on Activella, which is hormone theraphy. It sure did wonders for me. My sisters are going through the same thing but they can not go on htr because they both smoke. I really feel bad for them. Just to think that our grandparents went through this and they never said a word. Mine didn't anyhow. How times have changed.
I'm so glad that I found this site yesterday + have been able to read + understand what you've all been going through.
I too get hot flushes although not as bad as Basket Case. Mine seem to come + go. I'm fine for a while + then they start all over again. Does anyone else get them like this?
