Hi, today for the first time I'm experiencing wat I can only describe as cold rushing through my body it's coming in waves. I finished my period two days ago and it feels like I'm due on again , I feel dreadful and it's quite unpleasant. Is it possible to have a cold flush? It's all thru my arms, torso and face :-\
-
Yep. When I took Tamoxifen within 36 hours I had a cold flush and thought that I was getting 'flu, it began on the back of my shoulders and flowed down to my waist - even when I acquainted it with the drug it didn't stop how awful it felt. The drug made me very ill.
HORMONES >:( ::)

Yes Ckld it did feel like flu coming on yesterday down my waist and on shoulders all upper body really. Today is a bit different I just feel weak and tired and achey but the cold flushy feeling has gone. Mind u on Sunday I was the most active I've been in a while . Bike riding and having races with the kids in the garden. My muscles r so sore. I wonder if it was like lactic acid or something. I walk a lot but rarely do I sprint which is wat I was doing on Sunday to try and prove there was still life in the old dog to the kids haha! Maybe my body was in shock ;D

Hi sparkle oh sorry to hear that both u and ur daughter suffer. I only thought about it today and it's seems a bit funny that I'd done all that on Sunday then Monday I'm in a right old state but in an odd way with the cold feeling running through me. like u say, that and hormones wat chance is there. Mind u it was a little bit silly to try and compete with a 12 and 9 year old. I cudnt understand why they found it so hilarious to see their mum attempting a sprint at nearly 49 (and not very fit) I ran for my life and I knew as soon as I had done it with no warming up. It's just that most of the time I don't have the energy to excercise properly so it's a vicious circle isn't it. The cold flushes have gone today and I saw u replied on my other thread about the coldness after a hot flush well the only thing I can compare that to is at night wen I'm red hot and having terrible night sweats is wen I throw the duvet off I'm then freezing to death so I can't win either way. Thanks for reply one day we will look back and say phew I'm glad that's all over with :lol:

"Phew" being the operative word ? ;D
HORMONES >:( ::) ....... I used to have a flurry of activity B4 a bleed [I may have said so already :-\]. Then I would flop.
-
Haha! I'm on another planet today allsorts is going on that I can't even explain. A big flurry of activity is a good way of putting it like all I'm waiting for is the chest pain to know I'm having a heart attack or something. My mood is awful and I feel like I want to explode screaming and crying thru the roof. If this Continues then I'm off to the docs cos it's becoming quite unbearable. Body and head buzzing and feeling quite unwell. This is so unfair sorry for the rant :(
-
U rant away!
Go to the GP B4 your 'need' to ..... take a list of which symptoms you would like sorted?
-
Yes I think it's time I did cos it's quite scary. :thankyou:
-
:tulips:
-
Awww well I won't be doing it again in a hurry that's for sure lol! I think it's very difficult to describe wat is actually going on most of the time that's why it's great to come on here cos there's always someone who understands and is going thru the same. Just wish someone in my household cud u understand it too. I keep going up to my hubby for a hug just feel so sorry for myself he just hugs back but doesn't know wat to say :o god knows wat it will be like in the summer months especially in bed at night. Fan on fan off 😫
-
Does he need to say anything? We often have hugs we meet in the garden and blow kisses, we bump into each other in the hall and have a hug ..... no words necessary ;-).
-
Yes it's enough Ckld he can't talk about women's periods never mind anything else bless him :)
-
CLKD oops sorry spelt ur name in wrong order :-\
-
That's OK ;) - the first time a male friend talked to me about his wife's intermittent periods I was 35 :o and blushed :o :o ........
How you been today?
-
Aww haha!! Not too bad just never feel normal or well to a degree. I get stressed very easily I have 4 kids eldest nearly 20 and then a 16 yr old 12 and 9 yr old and Any issues where I have to have words or just parenting in general makes me feel so anxious and emotional and upset it's like it's just over whelming for me to deal with if I have to get stern about anything or even Back hubby up wen he's having words with any of them I feel like it's too much. Parenting is challenging at the best of times but at the mo it does contribute a lot to my well being simply cos of my hormones. No patience no energy! I suppose that's a whole different thread isn't it sorry I've set two off 😫🙈😂
-
They are all old enough to know why you are stressed. They are all old enough to do 'more' around the house/garden, i.e. putting laundry out, making sure that their school books etc. are ready the night B4, old enough to lay the table .........
Sit down and lay out the idea of a rota, draw on their strengths i.e. cleaning, cooking, tidying .........
-
Ah well here's the thing. I am a stay at home mum. My two older sons work full time (the younger of the two is on an apprenticeship) obviously the younger two r still at school and need the majority of parenting with regards to supervision, homework etc etc and I have put myself in the position of being the house slave so to speak. It was my choice to be a stay at home mum and my plan was to go back to work once my daughter who is 9 goes to high school so in all I've been at home with exception of a Saturday job some years ago for 19 yrs other than that helping hubby with his business doing a bit of paper work nothing major. Anyway my point is everything gets done while they're all out during the day and I'm a martyrr to the cause trying to make sure everyone is looked after washing ironing cooking shopping cleaning dog walking (5 dogs not all at once and hubby does lots aswell) pooper scooping the lot. That in its self wears me down but I have to have it all done don't get me wrong I make sure I finish around 2pm ish everyday and have a sit and a cuppa before the afternoon school run but wen it comes to a problem like putting rules into force or discipline basically not letting the kids get away with blue murder that's wen I lack energy. I get upset wen I have to tell them off or have a words about anything and just feel like saying oooh do wat u want! I had my youngest at 39 sm now nearly 49 and just dont have the energy anymore to deal with fights and arguments and problems I can cope with the housework it's the emotional stuff that's makes me anxious and I'm sure a lot of the time it makes my symptoms worse cos I think it's mostly anxiety that I suffer from due to peri of course. They're pretty good kids but normal kids who do fight and argue (the younger ones) hubby is very supportive but wish he wud take it all off my hands cos my hormones make me too irrational to deal logically and calmly so I just have a meltdown and want everyone to go away. None of them take me seriously they just think I'm a misery guts so 4 boys including hubby and one little girl yes they're old enuf to understand but can't and won't deal with mum acting all weird even thou I tell them wats wrong they don't want to thjnk about it. It's very frustrating. Ranting again!! 😅
