WeatherMy problem is less in the winter and I also don't wear my heavy sweaters anymore. In the summer, I stay in a lot when it gets humid or too warm outside and dress in very cool clothing. I am past "hot flashes" - complete hysterectomy when I was 40, am now 63. But, it feels like hot flashes when it hits. I really dread summer coming. I do have to touch my legs with my hand to feel if they are cold are not, then cover with afghan, etc. Such a strange sensation. Janice

Especially you women – how do you handle the hot flashes with menopause and peri menopause. I find that they are not flashes, but freakin tropical heat waves. I cannot sweat below the waist, so the heat does not go throughout the body, but is trapped in the upper body. It has been a cold winter and spring here, and I am going around in tank tops with a blanket wrapped around my legs – half of me is HOT and the other half is not. Geesh, I always wanted to be a HOT woman, I just didn’t expect it to be when I was 47, very fluffy, and with a disability!!!!!!!!!

I have some hot spells in the winter (and we keep our house cool), but late spring to end of fall is miserable. They have a name for this problem, but I can't remember it. I know of one lady who moved from Missouri to Montana to have cooler weather with lower humidity because of this problem.
