Hot Flush or What???

I've never been a person to get hot too much. I'm usually the one with a heater on trying to get warm. Now I'm running around cracking windows and trying to get air any way I can. My body just seems to be so out of control. I'm so over it.

Oh yeah, I noticed now that when the heat is on in the car or in the house it drives me crazy. The heat was on last night because everyone was complaining about being cold. I was cracking windows.. I couldn't take it.

There you go, were supposed, to open windows, difficult in winter for the family, stay on top of the bed, or, try a fan, wear cool cotton in summer, so, when you recognise what symptoms, and when your getting them, you try the lifestyle changes, so, for anxiety you do the breathing, relaxing exercises, depression/fatigue go for a walk, drink water,  or, alternative therapies,  anti depressants, etc,  you just need to recognise  your symptoms, accept what it for what it is, then try and help your body get through it., until you start recognising it straight away, you cant deal with it,  and then start thinking, oh well this is what i do for this and so, on and, so on, because early on your thinking, this cannot be the menopause, im really seriously ill, hormones cant do this surely, whilst your thinking like that, you will keep hunting for tests and reasons other than accepting its the menopause, because we cant accept that hormones can make you feel dire, to be honest, thats half the battle, acceptance!!  but it will get better, knowing whats wrong is everything!! you will get use to it, it will get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.

Horrible, I always used to be the one asking first can we please have some heating on in here.

I spent a lot of time last year standing outside cooling down.

I always loved the summer too but the last few years I can't put up with sitting in the sun.

You are absolutely right. I just couldn't think that it was all hormonal. The symptoms just came so suddenly that I just knew it was some serious illness. I am starting to recognize some of the symptoms when they are coming on. They seem to happen in cycles. So I'm playing the balancing act now to see what works.

My body is all out of whack. I don't know what my body is doing anymore. I used to keep a heater under my desk and sweaters on the back of my chair, now I feel like I hate heat. I thought I had a fever yesterday. I kept asking everyone in the house to feel my forehead. Again, they thought I was crazy.

good luck jamie, everyone we will all help one another on here, trial and erro, and what ever works for you. 

hahahahah ................ive done that! were mad arent we  I remember years ago when i was in my 20s, seeing a women ironing in the garden, it was such a hot summer, she was ironing in her skirt and bra, in the shade, now i know why??...............hahahahaha, thought she was mad, until i started doing the hoovering, in my tshirt and briefs, only upstairs though, i wouldnt go out like that, im not that mad yet.

 

That is hilarious. I have an aunt that used to hang her feet out the window because she said they were too hot. Could never understand it until one night I woke up with my feet on fire, I cracked the window and hung my feet from under the blanket. You could imagine i really thought something was wrong with me that night...hahahaha

Hi Jo,
