Hot Flash...
Google says :> Hot flashes are one of the most common complaints of menopause, as the periods of intense heat, warm skin, and sweating are uncomfortable. They can be triggered by tight clothing, stress, or consuming alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods.
Definitely nothing to do with flash photography... ooops!!
Should be some hormonal imbalance... Can it be eased up by some pill? or injection like with diabetes?
Well there is HRT - short for Hormone Replacement Therapy. However, HRT has been shown in studies to cause cancer. With my family history, I think I'll pass on that. The problem is, is that my great grandmother, grandmother and my mother all had full hysterectomies before they were 30 years old so no one really knows when the women in our family start to go into menopause. My sister never had any kids so I can't even consider her issues with that. Unfortunately I haven't talked to my mother or anyone from that side of the family for nearly 8 years so getting family history from them now is impossible.
I was diagnosed at age 40, as being perimenopausal. I'm 46 now and I don't see any relief in sight. Here is more information: It's sorta TMI so I put it in hide tags.
I have discussed my issues with my doctor. We'll see in time what happens.
