I’ve been introduced to the world of hot flashes. Yeah. In pre-menopausal women, chemotherapy can actually bring on menopause. I don’t know if that’s what’s happening to me now but it will be a topic of conversation at my next doctor’s appointment.
During the day, the hot flashes don’t bother me too much but at night it’s another story. It’s not the kind of heat that you can deal with by sticking your foot out from underneath the covers or by turning the pillow over for the cooler side; it’s like someone picked you up and dropped you beside a 1,000 degree pit of lava. The sensation usually starts from the head down. If I had any hair, I’d probably rip it out! I’m sure it only lasts a minute or two but it feels like forever.
Men have it so easy.

Hot Flashes!!! Carolyn can sympathize with you. There is a very positive to hot flashes - we have been heating our house on hot flashes for years!! C, seems to have them so often that she is constantly lowering the thermostat. Our, or should I say her, contribution to reducing Global warming. Don't laugh I'm serious. You know how chilly our house can be. I have had to invest in more sweaters!!!!!!
Love and prayers, Grampa Bob-O
