Re: shin pain - warm flashes - HA

[Guest guest]

Hi All: I have to jump back in here - I have been reading the posts but haven't taken time to write for quite a few days. I have been busy - THEN I celebrated my 74th birthday on the same day, evidently, as one of you---I think it was Janet---January 19th.

Anyway when I was in my 30's I had to have a complete hysterectomy (oophorectomy) and it threw me into immediate HOT FLASHES - I woke up and the hospital bed and myself was wet from head to toe. I had a male nurse and he told me that was what happened-----how embarrassing---to have a male nurse have to tell me. Anyway I can sure tell you it wasn't WARM --- it was HOT. I was bothered with them for years afterward. I could be in the middle of something as calm as could be and WHAM -- there they came - HA.

Praise be to God!!! I THINK I am over them now.

I have enjoyed all the chit-chat - Keep it up. ---- A WARM WELCOME TO BETH----I am glad you are back on board with us. To : I don't think I answered your question about the exercises. I don't know if I could do the weights or not. I have a bad shoulder from a torn rotor cuff that I had surgery on. I had exercise treatments for it but it is still hard for me to lift upwards and do a lot of things and I also have Fibromyalgia which SOMETIMES is quite painful. You see---I am just getting old I guess - HA. However I feel good most of the time and I really am not complaining - I just wanted to answer your question about the exercise with weights. I guess if I JUST WOULD TELL THE TRUTH --- I'm really bad at doing exercises and I'm afraid I just use some of these as excuses. I DO continue to walk everyday---not as much as I should---but something is better than nothing. Our driveway has a double entry-it starts at one side of a curve along the highway and ends quite a ways up alongside the highway. It is almost a mile and I walk it 3 times a day with the dogs and Gizmo, the cat.

I hope you all have a good evening. I have to decide what to fix for supper. Anyone have any suggestions? What are you all having?

A few years back there were times when I got too warm for a period and I wondered if this was the beginning of hot flashes or due to another reason, perhaps medication I was taking.

one day I was talking on the phone to my aunt and began to get warm. I remember that she had suffered terribly from hot flashes years ago. She's now in her 80s. I figured she'd be the best person to ask about it. I began, I think I may be getting hot flashes because sometimes I get warm.... She cut me off, emphatically stating, you're NOT getting hot flashes. I wondered how she can be so sure, esp w/o more info about my symptoms. I asked and she replied, well, honey, they aren't called warm flashes. They are called hot flashes for a reason. lol. It sounded as though just the words, hot flashes, brings back many bad memories for her even after all these years.

Before menopause, I always weighed after my period - I always felt refreshed, light, and new then....and indeed I weighed less before the cycle started again. Janet might have scared you - the fact is some women have slight menopause symptoms, and others have a terrible time of it. For me, I never had trouble with periods while young and I had no problems with menopause either. I'm 56 and have yet to have a hot flash...however, I do walk a lot and work hard on the farm...it may keep the endorphins up...who knows? My mother never had a problem either. Janet, I'm sorry if you are experiencing symptoms...I think you had it right the other day - a nice fire, a nice bath, and a good book. Beth
