Title: Not hot but sweaty and clammy
Post by: warwick01 on December 07, 2020, 12:11:46 PM

Hi

Have noticed recently since upping my gel, I am getting sweaty and clammy usually mornings when either I go out or doing house work.... Anyone else get this??

I never had hot flushes but each evening after my bath, for 10 mins. I would 'glow' across my shoulders as far as my waist: like a feeling of chilly running water .......... put it down to hormones  :-\

Some say that their faces get wet or they have sweaty palms.

I never had a hot flush but had many clammy sweating moments which I signed off to my version of hot flush.  Literally sweating but cold and clammy to.the touch. Better since gel and ustg 😊

Yes seem to get sweats and clammy skin more than occasional hot flush. Get them more often mornings before lunch.

DS68 how much gel are you using?

Hi there. That doesn’t sound like a very big dose. My dr said 2 to 3 pumps is about normal but can go up to 4 if you need to.
If you’re still getting symptoms it might be you need to up your dose. X

Hi

Its confusing as they say the older you are the less women need. I am 60 and was trying to stick with 2 pumps but feel I may need more post menopause....

It could be due to transient changes in blood pressure, blood glucose levels or thyroid hormones, all influenced by oestrogen. Hopefully it's temporary until your body gets adjusted to the increased dose of estradiol.
