Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Cyn, I KNOW what heat waves are...I have them constantly. My neck becomes warm and it starts to travel up through my face and into my head...the higher it goes, the hotter it gets. I had a complete hysterectomy 3 years ago. I stopped using the estrogen patch around 9 months ago because of the side effects. I don't know if what I am having is menopause or fibro, but it's a horrible feeling. I now sleep with a fan aimed right on my face/head. It has really helped with the sweating. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I've never been able to understand why we alway seem to accommodate those that are cold instead of those that are warm. Common sense dictates that a cold person can put on some extra clothing to keep warm. However a warm person (after all the clothes are off) cannot remove their skin to cool off. I say... heck with the cold ones and use some common sense... Bring her a sweater to wear and turn the A/C on high. I have a saying that may offend some... but.... " Here's a sweater, put it on, shut up, I'm sick, so buzz off and eat more... sheesh " . :-) Aren't I mean? hehehehe. hot hugs, Norah Norah Bleazard - Burlington, Ontario Canada www.bleazard.net ~ www.janorlites.com E-MAIL= norah.fibroyahoo@...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 LOL well that would be one solution but it would probably get me fired by the boss lol But thanks for the laugh Norah heck with the cold ones and use > some common sense...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Im in early menopause and I know my sweating is from that, I never had sweating with my fibro before, so its all a new thing for me lately. Today I felt like im sweating on the inside of my skin, yuck, I dont like it at all.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 That was the only one I've ever had, and it happened about 5 years ago. It embarrassed me, because the shop-keepers wanted to call an ambulance and I kept telling them I was fine, I just needed to sit down. I was wondering if it was maybe menopause starting, but I've had many hormonal tests over the years, and have just started pre-menopause. I still am regular as clockwork, but my rheumatologist told me I had some hormonal problems in my last test. I'd taken one of those pre-menopause home tests a couple of months before, and they came out positive, so I knew I was in the early phase, but I haven't had any problems with that. And the fibro symptoms started when I was very young, so I know it's not just hormonal " problems " that are causing my symptoms. The rheumatologist wanted to treat me with hormones, but they make me violently ill, very similar to morning sickness. When I was pregnant I was sick all day & night long the entire pregnancy (from 4 weeks on). Before I became pregnant with my first child I weighed 119 lbs, and the day he was born I weighed 117 lbs. My second pregnancy I was so sick I went down to 82 lbs. I don't know how I carried on as a wife and mother, but I managed. I was even sicker with my daughter, and the doctor wanted to do a " therapeutic abortion " , but I refused. Besides the nausea, my body ached all over, especially my pelvic girdle. I had to sleep on the couch in the later months, and when I tried to turn over I could feel my pelvic bones rub together....ugh!!! I remember waking up one morning just wishing the pregnancy would be over, I was in my 8th month. I sat and finished the pink blanket I was knitting (I just knew it would be a girl). and later that afternoon, around 3:30, I was cleaning up after lunch and my water burst. I called my husband at work (he'd just gotten back from lunch) and he took me to the doctor. The doctor said I was 4 cm dilated and to get right to the hospital, which was across the street. The nicest thing was, they let me take a shower when I got there, so I felt all clean and refreshed. The labor was really fast, and by 6:30 I was holding my 5 lb 9 0z baby girl. They put her in an incubator overnight, but the doctor said she was fine to go home the next morning. I never did get over all those aches and pains, though, and I now know why, lol! cyn At 11:40 PM 7/18/2004 +0000, wrote: >That's what mine are like.
