hot flushes
Sometimes I'm feeling fine & then I get a funny panicky feeling in my head which makes me feel completely unable to cope. Then a moment later I get really warm and have to take a layer of clothes off...
I'm the same as you Chris-hand fans everywhere.Have one in my handbag at all times and keep a steady supply of iceblocks in the freezer.My husband thinks I've become obsessed with the weather.I worry about going out and if there is air con.and what should I wear etc.It's not only uncomfortable but also embarassing when you turn beetroot red.I have to say my nights are better since going on Endep-I usually sleep ok now.I used to wake at 3am and thrash around for 3hrs then go back to sleep at 6am.What is it with that pattern??I'd say I'd have about 8+ flushes on a hot day and maybe 4 on a cool day.Before endep it was every 15 mins.Chris do you think HRT contributed to your breast cancer?I guess you weren't on it for that long.I reckon if men had these hot flushes a remedy would be found quick smart.O dear,that sounds abit sexist.But they really don't understand.
