We are Hot

 

Alright, let's talk hot flashes with a sprinkle of fun! Imagine them as your own personal, internal summer vacation... that you didn't exactly book. 

The "Personal Summer" Experience:

    • Think of hot flashes as your body's way of throwing surprise tropical dance parties. Sometimes, they're a quick salsa and other times, they're a full-on conga line!
    • Consider them your "internal thermostat testing" phase. Is it working? Oh, yes, it's working! Perhaps, a little too well.
      • Become a "Cooling Ninja":
        • Keep a mini-fan handy. It's your personal breeze generator.
        • Invest in "chill-out" clothing: lightweight, breathable fabrics are your secret weapon.
        • Cold drinks are your allies. Iced anything is a good thing!
        • Try a safe over the counter estrogen compound 
      • "Trigger Detective":
        • Become a detective and identify what triggers your heatwaves. Is it spicy food, stress, or crowded parties? I just experienced this over the holidays! Keep a log to master avoidance/ acceptance, but don't turn into a hermit! ;-)
      • "Bedroom Blizzard":
        • Transform your bedroom into an arctic oasis. Lower that thermostat, and pile on the light, breathable bed sheets.
        • Consider a "chill pillow". There are many products designed to keep your head cool.

Essentially, approach hot flashes with a sense of humor and a toolkit of cooling strategies. You've got this!
