Navigating the Heat Wave: Understanding and Conquering Hot Flushes

Picture this: You're sitting in a meeting, engaged in a conversation, and suddenly, an intense wave of heat sweeps over you. Your face turns crimson, beads of sweat form on your forehead, and you can't help but wonder, "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" If you're a woman going through menopause, chances are you've experienced this phenomenon known as hot flushes.

Thought. I have always run warm. I do feel the cold, but not as much as most people. I hate (detest?) overheated department stores. This got worse with the onset of perimenopause, & I was unable to wear jumpers for years, because I couldnā€™t get them off quickly enough during hot flushes, which threatened spontaneous combustion. This settled somewhat after finally going on HRT.

Iā€™ve noticed a change since going on ADHD meds. I now wear winter pjs on a ā€œcoolā€ summers night, & a nightie on warmer ones & am more likely to don a jacket of an evening.

Iā€™m wondering whether this is a consequence of the meds, & overheating is related to ADHD. #ADHD #ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic #Menopause #HotFlushes #WomensHealth

Good news for people who experience hot flushes. A new drug called fezolinetant which acts directly on the temperature control pathway has been approved in the US.

While it's early days, this sounds like a real game changer.
