Hot Flashes!

This year I get to experience hot flashes!  They may have started at the end of winter.  It was a very cold winter according to the weather man and the icy rain and snow we are not use to getting.  But I never felt like it was that cold!  So I'm thinking the hot flashes were keeping me warm! LOL!  When summer tempts came I thought I was in an oven! They were coming like every five minutes!  Took black cohosh for a few weeks and it helped for a while.  Finally they seem to be less often.  It's kind of funny though to suddenly break out in a sweat doing nothing but sitting in Air conditioning.  Sometimes I get this queasy feeling but it doesn't last more than a minute or two.  I like this better than what I had to deal with since I was around 13 years old!  Years of horrible pain and all the mess that goes with!

Dear Orichilas
I tried to send you this before and I am not sure it went thru. So I am doing it again just in case....
Here is a good one for you: I have hot flashes on and off.My Doctor put me on Zyrtec! huh? yes an allergy medicine. Every time I would mention to my other doctors/nurses they would look at me funny.One of them said for me to stop this nonsense.

I have hives and Zyrtec is the only one that keeps them all gone! I put myself on it when it became over the counter. I haven\'t seen a doctor for the hives in years, other than the after hours for other things like problem with my wrist and a sinus infection. My hot flashes are already slowing down and I am hoping it keeps in that direction. Did the Zyrtec help you?
