Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dorothy, I was almost through the worst of the menopausal hot flashes when I started tx again. They have come back full bore!! They are sooo strong sometimes, I go stand outside in the cold to cool down. I keep those little battery operated hand fans handy at my bedside and have a plug in fan at my desk. I HATE them, almost worse than the gastric upsets that come with tx. Now, I have to go through this again and hope it subsides in my lifetime. lol It would be interesting to know if the guys get them while on tx or if it is an additional cross to bear for us gals. Sharon in NW WashingtonAll I have seen teaches me to trust in the Creator for all that I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson I've thought about this too, but honestly, the hot flashes are also killing me. Sometimes, I can't even keep the covers on. Or the covers are on, then off, then on, then off. That's assuming my hands don't hurt and I can even lift them! I figured it would be a waste of $$$ when I have no income. I've also made sure I wake earlier than needed to take my meds so that I could get out of bed when needed. I did that this morning and was able to get up without much trouble. My hands, wrists and elbows hurt. Of course, the right leg always hurts.. I'm going to take a hot shower now while I think I can manage washing my hair and then being able to hold the dryer. I need to go out today for blood work so I've got to "clean myself up" a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
