I don’t know what to do! Am getting hot flashes that make me sweat all over! They happen out of the blue and the strange thing is I can be cold while am getting the hot flash too. like right now I have a hot flash an my face is warm and my neck but my arms are cold as the air conditioning hits me!?! What in the world!

    So sorry you are suffering. You don't give any details of your situation so its a little hard to answer you. However, there are things that can be done for hot flashes. Are you on anti hormone therapy? What is your diagnosis? Here for you if you need me...

    Unfortunately, that's kind of normal for a lot of women. I know healthy women who had hot flashes like this going through menopause.

    I'm not taking hormone treatment and have pretty strong hot flashes, though fortunately not too many each day. A friend is having 10-20 in daytime hours and more at night and that's been very hard on her.

    That’s about right... Hot 🥵 then 🥶

    There’s a few things that are helpful for me...stay away from spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol.

    Acupuncture helped me tremendously with hot flashes . I found immediate relief when I’ve done it and it has such a calming effect on the body.

    Hot flashes are normal and to be expected on these medications. I don't know about anyone else but I just try to do my best to tolerate the hot flashes.
