I was at a wedding reception last night, my gosh it was horrible for me but amusing to my freinds!! I actually looked like id been caught in the rain at one point, my hair was so wet! Not my most flattering look

Not a nice thing to happen at all and it doesn't do a lot for confidence either.
I'm not sure I would appreciate being a source of amusement for others to be honest.

I hope you managed to enjoy yourself a little bit and that your night wasn't totally ruined.

Can hot flushes also be so mild that you get this sensation of a sunburn in your face? I get that quite often, and trust me there's NO chance of a sunburn in Sweden in November....

LouE: That must have been AWFUL for you....

[Mary G]

LouE, to be honest that sounds dreadful and if you were actually wet afterwards, it be have been very severe.  I've never had hot flushes or night sweats but prior to taking HRT, I did have dodgy thermostatic control but nothing that remotely resembled your experience and it was never noticeable to anyone else.

Have considered HRT?  I can tell you that as soon as I went onto the gel, my thermostat when back to normal immediately.

I get the sunburnt feeling too. It's not pleasant, makes me feel really off 

[LouE]

Mary G ive had a hormone blood test, and seeing the well woman clinic for a coil this werk, heres hoping!!

No point in getting annoyed with my workmates last night, easier to just laugh along ive discovered. 

[LouE]

Yep!,

[Mary G]

Good luck!

Hello LouE.

You have my sympathies, I am super self concious these days thanks to the menopause!
I am one of those women who go a little pink but I have a friend who looks as if she is standing under a running tap.
At times like these a sense of humour is essential.

Take care.

I used to take spare clothes into work due to being drenched every twenty minutes. The sensation of sweat soaked bra and knickers is not something I enjoyed!

I only used to get that wet during the night. I kept a clean night dress at the side of the bed for a quick change. It was horrible....and I still get it occasionally.....to waken up dripping and hair soaked.

I had flushes in the day but no sweats except for my top lip and forehead.

I did have just one daytime sweat......down a tin mine. I combined it with a panic attack and made a right fool of myself.. Not my finest moment.

If anyone laughed I didn't see but I would have though it was quite cruel to find someone else's discomfort to be amusing.

I went to a party sat night and could not believe it about five friends of mine all in our fiftys had terrible flushes and the sweat was pouring from them,they asked me how come I was fine and not bathing in sweat like them I told them its the HRT and I don't get like that anymore they looked horrified and said they would never take it. Oh well carry on then I thought as they all went outside to smoke !!

[CLKD]

Never say never  .  Of course, smoking probably doesn't help …….

[TabithaR]

Hi Anja - I know what you mean - several of my friends are horrified by the thought of HRT and have such disapproving looks when it comes up in conversation. I couldn't manage without it.

[honeybun]

Nobodies business but yours I think. Why tell anyone, I know I don't.
