Hot flushes

Oh poor you I've been having flushes during the day as well as at night. To be honest I've no idea how long these can go on for my mum had them well into her 60s you could see the sweat pooring off her. I guess I will probably follow her for that. My mother used to love the cold weather and would always go out into the cold to cool down. I hope these don't last too long for you😨xx

Hi have you seen the drinking water with cucumber in it post, it seems to be helping some with the hot flushes very well,

hello 

oh dont get me started on hot flushes 

i only ever had them in early peri and night sweats ..

night sweats where you wake up sopping wet and legs slipping off each other .. and day flushes where for me, heat from face down for a few seconds or minutes .. intense .. often followed by feeling cold ..

well i had about 2 years of those on and off .. but in early peri ..

i started Rainforest food Maca capsules and they helped no end with all the symptoms..

i started with an early peri ( same as my mother) but mine lasted ten year ..

ummmm i am now post meno aged 50 and guess whatm last summer my hot flushes returned, and severely was having 20+ a day .. they have eased off now, still get them daily but not 20 plus.

it may have been the intense spanish heat and being newly post meno .. not sure.. 😩

hormones play havoc and tells our brain we need to cool down so we have a flush ... also can be other issues, but if in peri time or post meno then more likely just that

Hi Ladies

I am 44 and have had night sweats for last 2 to 3 years. Started very gradually in my case so that I did not make the connection until Dr told me. Initially I had night sweats maybe 2 a month, waking at 2am ish, hot all over and sweaty. Then I noticed during the day I was feeling hot and would be sweaty down my back and neck. Not a hot flash per say, more a kind of being hotter generally than I ever used to be. I was a "always feeling the cold" kind of gal, but now I don't feel the cold as much.

lately, I get night sweats maybe 3 or 4 times a month usually either week of or week after my period. Ì have to sleep with thin cotton pajamas even though it's cold and cannot tolerate our usual winter lambswool blanket which my hubbie has on his side of the bed as well as a duvet. Funny, it's like clockwork, I awake at 2am ish with the hot sweat.

ì will try the other ladies suggestion of water with cucumber. Certainly worth a try.

The cucumber remedy sounds interesting so I'll definitely try that thanks. I was a bit like you Sydneymum because I think I didn't make the connection between waking up soaking wet and menopause. Now it happens every night so I've gone and bought the lightest quilt possible. I'm always complaining that my husband has the heating up too high - who would gave thought it! Standing outside in the cold air is also a wonderful relief. I think I have night sweats every night and hot flushes several times a day now. Plus I put my arm round my sister in law the other day and she said I was like a hot water bottle - so I think I'm constantly hot buts the moment I don't go red which is lucky as I teach full time.Unfortunately these are not my only symptoms so I hope this is the worst bit and it goes soon. Thanks for all your comments x

well i suffered with my hot sweats in pre menapause stage from the age of 57 to 61, im now 64, its easing off a bit now, think ill increase the cucumber drink a bit more, i decided to drink it to see if it would help with my many other physical problems after reading about the many benefits of cucumber.i mainly find im getting one in the mornings now when i wake up, have a cup of tea and always get a hot sweaty flush about five minutes later. i have a friend who got them back again with vengenance at the age of 64!  not very comforting is it.!
