    Hi tbird

    The other thing that might be going on is a version of hotflushes related to decreasing estrogen levels that occur during your period.  during this peri phase..

    body temp always rises even in younger non peri ladies during their periods, i also had night sweats and day hot flushes in early peri, these passed, but always extra felt hot during a peri period ..

    now i am menopause reached my day hot flushes have infact returned and have ordered some vitamin E to help this..

    it is quite normal for temp to rise during the whole of your period time, and with the oestrogen declining it feels more intense... remember a hot flush is a way our female bodies try to cool down....  try and keep cool if you can ..

    good luck hun

      Hi Jay

      What a woman!!Like your sence of humour. I think that last lot I got online from natures best. Great website. I only started having sweats end of last year thats when I knew something was wrong.  As I mentioned before finally got diagnosed march this year post menopause.  Its mostly been the aches and pains thats really been getting me down....but thankfully this actipatch is working a dream!  Fingers crossed im finally getting back to some kind of normality 

      Take care let me know how you get on Jay

      Hi Suz

      oh noooo rain..

       i love the weather here ... i just glow extra 😃

      i never moan about the weather just my body ... 

      i ordered the actipatch sample... thanks for that..

      but... today i have been researching this Estroil ( ovestin ) vaginal cream or ovules.. 0.1% ..

      think i may just try it as my bits feel like the bottom if a budgies cage ..

      said i never would... but this is suppose to be the safer one.. and beneficial ..

      we have three oestrogens and this Estroil is a gentle and quite beneficial one... i have been dandy for 5 months, not 100% but dandy ..but these last few days felt like I am 150 years old and put out to pasture.. 

      maybe it will lift.. who knows.. but i am straight to the farmacia monday..

      keep looking at Estroil benefits and i think I am sold .. 

      may just try half the amount recomended see what happens... 

      normally i never sit bum down, i exercise, swim daily, but havent for few days.. not me this... 

      you say your post meno, and me too, maybe these flushes are another early post meno symptom, my last period was almost a year 2 sept 2013..

      Gyno said my ovaries are meno reached non functioning last monday, no follicles ... 😮

      oh joy.... its doesnt get better does it...

      i dont know what to do for the best ... i would sleep on it but i dont sleep 😀😀😀😀
