Before peri, do you remember thinking…“what’s the big deal about hot flashes?” Like so what, you get hot for a few minutes, how bad could that be?? Some poor folk get them every hour and lasting for 10 mins or more!
Oh yeah, absolutely. A few weeks ago I was at a conference, standing in a line with my colleagues, dripping with sweat and feeling just way too hot. It lasted so long. T’was not fun.
That sounds awful. I am so sorry, don’t think I have this yet but I’m sure I will find out. How long into peri before you started getting this out of curiousity?
I actually have no real way to guage how long I’ve been in peri! I have a mirena so I stopped getting my period a really long time ago. It’s only going by other symptoms that I figured out I was in peri. I’m 49, and I think I’ve been in peri for at least a year.
There’s really no rhyme or reason with hot flashes. Mine didn’t start until I became post-meno!
I’ll just have to wait and see I guess. Maybe I will move back to Canada if it gets too much. Lol. Moved away to leave the cold winters. 🥶
I don’t get hot flashes. I get a whole hot morning, every morning. It’s Winter here and I generally walk my cat around 10am. I rarely wear a jumper/jacket. We go for our second walk in the afternoon (bengal life) and I’m rugged up appropriately. It’s wild.
