Any positives to hot flushes?

I've got one. When it's cold at night and you need to get up to pee, wait until a hot flush comes along and ride that mo fo all the way to the loo...

  • They give you an excuse to walk out of meetings, compose yourself, and re-enter less likely to take a swing at someone.
  • Fresh air through the open bedroom window even in the middle of winter
  • My hubby bought me a tiny USB fan that clips onto the side of the bed. It's magic!! I also have it on my desk during the day and it never fails as a discussion point. Hoping that it promotes empathy for us poor souls trapped inside our human ovens and explains the constant sheen on my face!
  • On a similar tone... hot flushes make it real easy to get out of the hot shower on a chilly morning lol
  • I finished chemo in October 2016 and it was almost overnight in July last year that the flushes stopped as well as the neuropathy pain in my hands. Can’t explain it but very grateful I can tell you love xx
  • @onemargie Noted. Thank you. Do you know why they've stopped for you?
  • @kmakm Oh the old hot flushes @kmakm thank god I don’t have any anymore. I used to have a squirty bottle by my bed that I would use to spray my face with I’d freeze part of it then fill it up so it would last through the night. Hope this helps. Margie.  Xx
