I have never had one of those natural hot flashes you talk about, so I guess I wasn't built right. But, this diabetes really kicks my butt. Change sheets every morning and nighty and shower a couple times a day. Think it is under control and it bottoms out....get it back up and there it goes, sweat sweat sweat..... Dr says it will work out. hmmmmm Dr of what, I wonder? Changing Dr next month. Still, that kind of sweating leaves you sick. Does the "mennnie paws" make you sick, too?

Oh Please, tell me these Hot Flashes don't last that long been having them for year and a half now.I no what you mean about opening the freezer done that lots of times.I just bought the Black Cohosh sure hope it helps me.Burning up in W.v me and the outside temps.

Not sure what DH is but if its hubby, My hubby has "MENaPause" so he's very understanding. It tickles me now just a little :mrgreen:

My dog Bella and I are going through menopause together.....LOL

My body was forced into it after an auto accident and major surgery that followed. It's been 7 years and if I can make it another month, it will be done.....LOL

I called them power surges. Thanks to my pills I don't have them anymore. And a bonus...my family can stand to be around me most times! :-D :-D

Yes, but so much has come out about the side effects of HRT. I am scared to go that route.

I'm with you there -- I havce a circular floor fan that I have on when I'm sewing or quiting, especially ironing! Will they ever end?

I burn up this summer, it has been very hot.
One Son-in-Law's Sister calls hot flashes -"Personal Summers". Very cute. Don't get many in the winter when its cold.

Hot flashes and quilting just isn't a very good combination. It's a real killer when you have a large quilt in your lap and a flash hits you.

I call them "POWER SURGES" too but I like the 'Personal Summer". I'll use it the next time I have one in public. I've also been known to carry an oriental folding fan with me when I don't have access to an electric one. BUT please please don't tell me they last TEN years! They have been slacking off now and it's only been about 4 years.
