DESCRIBE YOUR HOTFLASH

Posted , 6 users are following.

Ok ladies, i have been on this forum more times then i would like to admit...i am 7 years post, but bad symptoms only started maybe 4 years ago for me. In peri i always got the hot flash accompanied by sweating/heart palps & insomnia. i have now been getting almost nightly, and always between 2:00 am & 6:00 am a surge of intense heat and fairly intense burning body parts followed by sometimes a wave of cooling sensation , anxiety and sometimes nausea but really intense! is this a hot flash on steroids or is it something else entirely - i am getting concerned that that they seem to be getting worse and more frequent than less - ugh!

      hi JILL - thank you for responding - it gives me peace knowing that someone else experiences this ...it is horrible! i am not sure why this is getting so ramped up more than ever, but after an episode, i am just left completely drained - sometimes i think it has to do with what i have eaten, sugar or had some wine, but even when i have had nothing to eat or drink i get it - i just hope this is the last bang & then this menopause business will be over -
