Stupid question,I know ā theyre hot, right ?
But Iāve had episodes of ātemperature dysregulationā for 10+ years (since my early 40s) that Iāve blamed on lupus, never once considering it could be peri/meno. I am feeling dumb that it never occurred to me, and frustrated that not one of my many health providers in all this time has suggested it ā but then maybe my hot/cold issues donāt jibe with how hot flashes are supposed to feel? So i thought iād ask.
About half the time itās not just the sudden burning up, which hurts, I also get really dizzy and feel ill, like Iām having a blood sugar crash or a migraine aura without the migraine. And sometimes the heat is followed by feeling cold.
So ā sound like hot flashes?
As annoying as it is to think I was so clueless all these years, it would be nice to think that i could get this treated.
