#hotflashes — Public Fediverse posts

Back when I started having hot flashes leading up to menopause, along with my gynecologist, I decided not to do hormone therapy since I’m so sensitive.

I tried some natural remedies and one is making me feel so much more human. I no longer have as many hot flashes. It’s Estrovera by Metagenics and the active ingredient is Rhapontic Rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum, root) ERr 731®

It’s not cheap but it’s working for me.

I just bought the best fan I’ve ever owned from London Drugs. I saw it a couple weeks ago but could not justify $150 and was keeping an eye on it to see if it went on sale.

$50 off! Score!

Vornado AXL Low-Profile Fan with Vertical Oscillation.

This post-menopausal woman is very happy with this fan.

#GERD flare: oh gog why

#HotFlashes: no really, why

GERD and hot flashes at the same time: WHAT DID I DO TO THE UNIVERSE, WHAT SIN AM I PAYING FOR

It's for hands but I'm gonna use it for drying other parts.

It's hot in Summer. I'm still in menopause too so it is almost always scorching heat - all 4 seasons.

People are like singing - It's getting hot in here. I'm like - You don't even want to know it's year round hot in me 😅

Hello patches my old friends
I’ve come to stick you on again
Cuz for a cogent thought I am seeking
My poor old joints, they ache and are creaking
And in the dark of the night I keep bursting into flame
It’s such a shame

As I was going through menopause at the end of 2019, I was overheating every night. I took to sleeping outdoors on the back step. I only came inside when it was colder than -10. I slept best when I could see my own breath. #menopause #HotFlashes #NightSweats #Sleep #winter

#Women, if you take the #medication #Veozah for #HotFlashes, *please* read this CNN news story: https://tinyurl.com/4vvcuhfk. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the drug could cause serious #liver #injury. Get the FDA's PDF here: https://tinyurl.com/3hh3pr7t .

To all of the people on T:

Please tell me how long I have to put up with the horrible hot flashes/ soaking sweats?

I skipped my shot this week and within 2 days I noticed a difference. I'm just nowhere near as disgustingly wet on a daily basis after minimal action.

I can't live in a house that's 60°. I can't afford it. Does this ever become easier? Does it ever stop? My doctors just shrug and say yeah testosterone does that.

I've been on T for 2 years now and over a year at my current dose. Brain wise, I'm a lot happier on T but I'm not sure I can live in the body if I just have to deal with epic levels of sweat from activities like dusting or sweeping.

I'm definitely open for advice here. Share this one widely. I know way more trans femmes than I do trans mascs.

I went for a 4 km walk today. I had more energy than I did yesterday, thankfully. However, I am starting to have hot flashes again. What gives?

Tomorrow morning, I plan on wearing my orange shirt and joining the #EveryChildMatters walk. I hope my body cooperates. I still want to know why Truth and Reconciliation Day is only a holiday for bankers and politicians. A lot of Indigenous people can't participate because they don't get the day off. Hardly seems reconciliatory, does it?

We had a planned power outage from 3 to 4 AM this morning. My watch wakes me up so I wasn’t worried about not waking up. I didn’t think the short power outage would really affect me. I was wrong. I woke up hot at 4:30 AM wondering why my fans weren’t on. So, I’ve been awake since 4:30 AM. Oh, and this is happening again on Thursday. Yay.

Can I go to bed now?

An #experimental #pill cut #Hotflashes and improved #sleep for #women in #menopause — without using #hormones

The #drug, called #elinzanetant, works by blocking the #brain #chemicals responsible for #hotflashes and #NightSweats – what doctors call #vasomotor #symptoms – in #women whose #ovaries have slowed #production of the #hormones #estrogen and #progesterone.

There Are Not Enough #Resources for #Women in #Menopause — and It’s Time to Change That.

Wicked #moodchanges, #hotflashes, #nightsweats, #dryness everywhere, and staring at the ceiling at 3 AM are just a few of the unpleasantries millions of women deal with daily.

I should know…I’m one of them.

The winter of my worst hot flashes and night sweats, I slept out on the back step. I bundled up in sleeping bags and wool blankets, the skin of my face tight as plumes of breath floated up to the sky. I heard the secret wildlife of cities at night: the hooting of owls and the squeaking of skunks and rats. Light pollution hid most of the stars, but every now and then I saw a few lights in the sky: satellites, stars, planes, or the ISS. I remained outside each night until the temperature went below -10 Celsius, and then I reluctantly came back inside. I wish I could safely sleep outside now, but the air is choked with smoke. #SleepingOutside #Outdoors #Pyrocene #AirQuality #ClimateDiary #Menopause #HotFlashes #NightSweats

I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve had more than my share of hot flashes today

🔥

I’d be fine if the universe would spread these around to others instead of bestowing them all on me

How do people track and understand #hotflashes

Dear hot flashes,

I don’t like you. Please leave me alone.

Yours (from the burning fires of hell),

Stacie

🥵 🔥 👿

Also relevant:

I’m dealing with hot flashes at night and would not be able to share a bed with another human. Last night I woke up just after 3 AM to find my blankets on the floor. Normally I throw them off me, but manage to keep them on the bed while rolling over to the cool side of the bed.
