For all my over-heating spoonies out there:

While doing chores/moving around, if you start to get really warm, put ice packs in your pockets, 10/10

Drink lots of ice water, but not all at once, your body might freak a little and go nauseous

Have a large amount of tank tops in various colors, when you go out and have to look a bit more formal, use a cardigan/very thin jacket so you always have the option to take it off

Spray bottles on mist form <3

Sometimes resting, or laying down, helps to cool off cause you're not using energy

Keep your bare feet on the cool tile/wood/etc. as often as possible

Bowl of ice in front of a fan works weirdly well

Popsicles, but make sure they're not high in sugar/dairy/etc. because those can make it worse

I know it would seem like tiny tight clothes would be best, but make sure your clothes aren't tight, you don't have to wear long flowing capes and gowns but having shorts that are cotton/loose are always much better.

The backs of your arms (the upper half) your feet, and your knees are often colder than the rest of your body, utilize that

Okay, fellow disabled folks who get hot flashes, does anyone have any ACTUAL advice for dealing with them? Every time I try to look it up Google thinks I’m a 60 year old post menopausal woman and tells me to call my grandkids and use a fucking douche or something

For anyone having hot flashes (or will someday have them), taking a probiotic may help lessen their intensity. Give it a week. It won't make them go away, but it could make them more tolerable.

I was answering questions and found out that gabapentin can be used for hot flashes (a vasomotor symptom) in pts with perimenopause/menopause symptoms. I already knew SSRIs like Effexor help.

How the menopause is destroying my life (and why I still laugh about it - Just!)

Menopause is supposed to be a natural and normal part of aging for women, but let me tell you, it feels more like a cruel and unusual punishment. Ever since I entered this phase of life, I have been experiencing a range of symptoms that make me feel like I am losing my mind, my body, and my dignity. Here are some of the ways that menopause is destroying my life, and how I try to cope with them with a sense of humour.

Low libido. This is one of the most disappointing and frustrating symptoms of menopause. It is like having a switch for sex that turns it off completely or makes it painful or unsatisfying. No matter how much I love or desire my partner, I can’t seem to get aroused or orgasmic. Sometimes I feel like I am frigid or impotent. I have had to fake it or avoid it altogether to spare myself or my partner from embarrassment or disappointment. The only way I can deal with it is by communicating openly with my partner, trying new things or toys in bed, using lubricants or creams, and seeking professional help if needed.

Peri-/Menopause Diaries - HRT - 6.5 Weeks In

A quick update on my progress at just over the 1.5 month mark. The OB/GYN said to give it a minimum of 60-90 days to see full results but here are what I’ve noticed so far. I will preface this list as I am not positive some of it is a placebo effect but the physical items are definitely due to HRT: Cons: A few more headaches More prone to migraines (knowing the signs, I can take measures to…
