[CLKD]

My last bleed was early in 2002.  Apart from a few warm water feelings after my bath which didn't last many weeks, I've had no symptoms until the last couple of weeks …….. last night I suddenly turned very very hot, began sweating, had to shed clothing fast  .  Surely, not after all this time  ………..

Or could it be the weather? 

[CLKD]

Could it be flushes starting after all this time 

It was so sudden 

[Kathleen]

Hello CLKD.

As your last period was fourteen years ago my bet is the sweating was caused by something other than meno!

anxiety makes me flush as does tea or coffee, sugar, alcohol and curry 

I can go days, forget about them, then whoosh 

[CLKD]

Note to self: keep a food/flush diary   

Food doesn't affect me, we eat a lot of curry and spicy foodstuffs.

[Tempest]

Yup, anxiety. THAT is the big kicker for me! If it's up, the night sweats are killer too. Other things are caffeine, dark chocolate, fizzy drinks, wine, refined sugar and spicy stuff. I just knew I should have indulged more before all this came along.......

I agree that anxiety makes me hot , and even thinking about getting hot makes me hot ! having had  very little  hot flushes at all in my menopause journey, I am very surprised when I get hot . I'm thinking CLKD that the weather is a big cause ,  and that you are genuinely hot !

DD and DSIL are in New York, it is the equivalent of about 38 degrees today!!  Now that's hot 

[CLKD]

I'll blame the weather for now  .

Hasn't happened today.  I had opened an e-mail from a friend which was a lovely surprise as well as containing sad news …..

Oooh my son is there too - has been there for two weeks training in his new job. He flies back (to London) tonight. I haven't heard from him much though so didn't know about the weather!!

I always come over in a hot sweat if I am worried about something or sudden embarrassment - even at the thought of something - and I'm on HRT so don't get hot flushes. It is a normal physiological phenomenon - but odd that you haven't experienced it before CLKD?

Ours aren't back until Thursday and haven't heard from them either.  I have a cyber friend who lives  in Brooklyn who told me yesterday the temperature was 93F but with the humidity it is more like 107F (that's about 41C)

[CLKD]

It's happened a couple of times this week, around this time of day  .  OK then suddenly feel warm and sweaty, had to strip down to skin to cool off 

Slightly dizzy too ……… could be the weather I suppose?

[CLKD]

That's what I keep telling myself. 

[CLKD]

Must be the time of year then  ............ I was kept awake the last 2/3 nights due to feeling too warm whereas since August the lleccy blanket has been on all night every night  plus I have problems with Mother which is making me feel flat .......

I DID google my symptoms regarding getting sweats 3 years after peri.  It said something about hormones can be unbalanced from time to time well into menopause and this will trigger the hot sweats again. I can put the clock by mine at 10PM most nights.  I've also noticed that if I am in a warm environment, this seems to trigger sweats too.  If I'm cooking I get them quite bad. Sometimes I have to go and sit down as I feel so light headed it worries me that I'll end up face palming the top of the red hot AGA. The sweats seem unrelated to the folic acid deficiency but I suppose I need to give it a few more weeks before completely dismissing it. The main reason I feel they are menopause related is that it's the usual build up of heat in the top half of my body and if I can cool myself down with a fan or by sitting outside, it calms down very quickly and I'm fine again..if it was something else causing them I assume it wouldn't all settle down  as quickly.
