first the heat swells up in your body, you really dont realize you are hot. the sweat pours out and you realize your forehead is wet and your upper lip is dripping. Your neck and chest start to get wet and you feel like you have taken a shower. it is worse when you have just put on body lotion because lotion, not absorbed in the skin, mixes wtih the sweat and drips off your body. YOur face and nose are wet with droplets of sweat, YOu feel wet. You start to smell yourself and realize your deoderant may not be strong enough.
its not like sweating from Physical activity or from being outdoors in the heat and humidity, its like walking out of a swimming pool without a towel.
your skin feels fresh and clean or hot and tingly or prickly in the heat.
your never know when they strike and you can get cool enough. its used to be a cool takes over, not now.. NO cool after the storm just more hot.
they wake you from your sleep, stop you mid sentance, interrupt your thinking..
soon after, i am exhausted like having a seizure. the physical energy of hot flashes tires me out...
no black cohost, soy products or estroven has been able to help...
no period while i get the flashes... its all a trade off..
i cant make them go away... just adjust...
