Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	After waking up soaked one night this week, I decided to read some of the menopause stories in the Our Voices section here at BWS. Have you read one of the latest additions, For Everything There is a Season, by Mary V. Kolar? Here's a link to the story. I think you'll like it. http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com/stories/survive-season.html

Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	Very cute Dotsie! My hot flashes are daily and nightly for the past 4 years. Just today, the girls in my office and I went out to lunch. The A/C was on and they were chilled. Of course, at that moment I had one of my worst flashes of the day. I used my napkin to fan me when all of a sudden I spotted 3 girls in about their 30's in the next booth laughing at me! I wanted to tell them to "just wait a decade or so" and I would be laughing since it will be over for me by then! (I hope) No one really knows how debilitating these can be, but yes...they too will pass! Pam

Wisdom&Life Member Registered: 12/14/04 Posts: 724 Loc: Chesapeake, VA	I've been having hot flashes since 2002, brought on by a hysterectomy at 39. I really dread the summer, and it doesn't help living in a very hot and humid place. It gets on my nerves when I am trying to get ready and the make up I just applied comes off because of Niagra Falls on my face. Another hindrance is this. I am heavier now and well, let's just say I require more clothing to cover up. So now I should dress heavier, and at the same time aggravate the hot flashes even more. Grrrrrrr! I hate summers in Virginia Beach! Cathi

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Cathi, I am coming to Virginia Beach in the fall. I hope to meet you. I take the pill so most of my symptoms are masked. However, last week I was on the placebos and I woke a few nights with hot sweats. I guess that would happen all the time if I wasn't on the pill. EW! Has anyone bought the Bed Fan that's advertised on BWS home page?

Are you coming for business or pleasure? I would love to meet you! I am going to be in MD on Memorial Day weekend. My brother and his wife just had a baby girl, and I cannot wait to see her. quote: Has anyone bought the Bed Fan that's advertised on BWS home page? I will check it out. Has anyone heard of a chillow? Has anyone ever tried one? Cheers, Cathi

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Where does your brother live? We are home Memorial weekend. We have a couple graduation parties to attend, but other than that, I'm around. If I can't catch you while you are here, I will surely let you know when I'm in VA Beach. It's for pleasure. We have two friends who live there. We will be experiencing the empty nest for the first time. Friends who have been there and done that told us we should try to have a little get-a-way to look forward to so we're listening. We'll need all the help we can get.
