Nocturnal Hydrosis And Vasomotor Symptoms

I don’t know but I think I had my very first hot flash. I can’t figure out if it was an “official” hot flash as I have no one in the family to ask. Neither my mother nor my grandmother ever went through menopause; they just kinda got old. My sister is two years older than me but she has yet to experience the joys of the “normal” symptoms involved. I’m okay with menopause. I don’t need my ovaries any more. No really, I’m well past the need to reproduce and if I feel the need to hold a babe in my arms, I’ll get another puppy. (Wonder if “Tiger” will be a PETCO again this Saturday.) I guess at my age a hot flash would qualify as early menopause but hey….no more periods? I’m cool with that, too!

Has anyone ever experienced a hot flash? Was it because of menopause? Here’s how my flash went down: Merlee Odell, Spawnette, and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie last weekend. All of the sudden this wave of extreme heat washed over my body. I began to sweat profusely from beneath my boobs and under my ass. I jumped off the couch and knocked the air conditioning down to 62º below zero and turned a box fan on to circulate the snowflakes gently falling from the ceiling vents. Merlee and Spawnette both grabbed blankets and thermal socks while I shoved each to the furthest ends of the couch. It didn’t come on quickly and diminish after a brief time; this lasted all night long. I didn’t sweat like an anabolically enhanced female Russian body builder,
I just got hot.

By the morning - *poof* - all was better. I can’t figure out if it was result of an actual hot flash or if it was due to the fact I had squeezed myself into the 4.73 inch spot left on the couch. The spot nobody ever wants because you’re sandwiched between two 98 degree bodies with no wiggle room. I don’t know what it was but let me tell you people, for once in my life, I was HOT!

My hot flashes are more sudden and dramatic... almost like lighting a match. They don't involve boob sweat, but my ear lobes get all drippy.

Then again, that's just me. All symptoms may not appear in all patients. Seek immediate attention for erections lasting four hours.

So Bob, does this mean you're going through menopause, too....or are you just hot?

just bob said...

LOL... I'm about as far away from "hot" as a person can get. Therefore, it must man-opause :)

Sounds like a hot flash to me. As described by my mom and MIL anyway.

Not sure babe. But I had a hysterectomy and I get hot ALL the time. Keep that thermostat set on 68. *coool*

Were you drinking? Because I'm allergic to alcohol and if I drink, it causes me to get extremely hot. I made the mistake a month or so ago and drank a few shots. I thought I was going to burst into flames due to spontaneous combustion. My husband told me that I moaned in me sleep the entire night, and I felt like crap the next morning. Alcohol also makes my hair crawl and my head to itch. And depending on what I drink, it sometimes will give me an instant head ache, so I don't drink that often.

That sounds like one to me, but I'm not there - yet. But, I'm totally okay with losing Flo. TOTALLY.

Thanks for stopping by my place.

I've got a few years to go yet before it hits me (not many) but I do remember me mam going apeshit about her FEET being hot. In the car she would turn on the foot vents that usually pump out the heat on cold days, but instead flow the air conditioner through there...

I'm afraid you did, in fact, have a hot flash. I just turned 40 but I've been having them since my early 30's. In fact, the first time I had one, I was preggers with my second child! Everyone is different. When I get them, it's immediate drippy sweat from head to toe, vertigo and I get so nauseated I have to do whatever is in my power not to totally hurl in front of everyone.

Whoa. That poor Cecile, man. Can you imagine? Hope yours is just a hot flash! ;)

I get hot flashes every time I get our credit card bill and see what the missus has bought!

You are so, so hot. You're just feelin' your fine self.

Mrs. R said...

Not there yet myself, but my sis-in-law is pregnant and getting hot flashes, and she does pretty much what you did when they hit her, so I'm thinking yes?

Bonnie the Boss said...

I haven't had any yet, other than the steroid induced ones. My guess would be yes.

Hot flashes are mostly caused by the hormonal changes of menopause, but can also be affected by lifestyle and medications.
