Menopause – How Do You Cool Off?

Not everyone owns the perfect pool set at the perfect temperature for jumping in and cooling off. Seems easier than taking 10 showers a day for some reason, doesn’t it?

What does it take for you to cool off?

For me it depended on where I lived. Since menopause started, I have spent about a month or more in three different areas of Florida, 5 weeks or so in Canada, 3 weeks in Manhattan Beach, CA and now in Hawaii.

No pool, pool, pool, no pool, not worth going in pool, no pool.

So, when you are without the luxury of a good pool how do you cool off quickly? That’s the point, right? AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!!

Now with no pool, and the beach 30 minutes away landed, a quick hot flash fix is either a shower or cold washcloths and a fan.

We have a ceiling fan and AC which is nice, but they do not cut it for this hot flash.

• That super extreme hot flash that makes you want to crawl into a freezer...forever.

• That hot flash that starts at the tippy top of your head and trickles down in waves.

• The get the FK out of my way hot flash that burns you from the inside out, from the top down.

That hot flash.

What do you do for it? Do you even get that type of hot flash? If not, you lucky lady. Congrats.

Not me. I’ve had them from day one and have THAT hot flash almost every day. It makes you want to crawl out of your skin. Do you agree?
