At least in the Summer here in the South no one thinks much if they see me sweating. In the Summer everyone sweats like crazy. That's why we are slow and laid back. It's to hot to get worked up and in a hurry. Lol.

I have had a lot of sweat & just mugginess.
Welcome summer with hot flashes.

Tomorrow is another day to try & stop the sweat maddess. I know I have to because it also affect my joints.

Hi Ladies!

I am new here and tickled to find this team. My hot flashes are mainly at night; usually starting about 6 or 7 pm and then hitting hard throughout the evening. I lie in bed at night and if I haven't soaked the sheets, I'm taking my covers off, putting them on, then taking them off. My poor Yorkie Poo doesn't know what to do with me - OR the covers! I am not using HRT and do not want to but gosh......I am open to any ideas and suggestions that have worked for any of you!

Look forward to meeting you and sharing the beach! LOL

I seem to have a hot flash at almost the same time of the afternoon every day. I walk into work first thing in the morning (early, almost no one there) and immediately feel warm for at least an hour. At first I thought it was the room temperature and was dismayed to realize it's me!

That does not even include the intermittent sporadic and unpredictable flashes that happen all throughout the day and night!

My Flashes seem to be getting a bit better during the day. The later it gets the more they come. The weather should be warming up soon,wonder what they will be like this Summer ? Here in NC during the Summer everyone sweats like the Devils wife so I don't stand out so much. Lol.

I know embarrassing it was as the top I had on under my jacket had no sleeves and I don't have the prettiest of arms let me tell you (you'd think I'd know better and wear something at least with a little sleeve wouldn't you?) It was a suit jacket and I didn't think I would have to take it off - but I did. I think I'm going to have to give up caring completely of how I look lol...

I guess you would get fed up with the heat growing up in a dessert. I grew up in Scotland, raining and damp most of the time so I like to be warm. Was out at a retirement dinner tonight and had a nice glass of red wine, then started to do the strip....lol - kidding but outer clothing was being removed.

I had a warm flash about an hour ago - it was pretty mild, so I won't call it a hot flash! At least, most of the time, I am the only one who knows when I have one. I have a friend who is very fair and looks like a strawberry when she flashes! Poor thing!
