Dirtyhip Posted August 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2014 As you know, I changed meds. One of the lovely side effects is flushing. At certain points during the day, I am beet red and hot. My chest, face, and even my arms and sometimes even my legs turn bright red. Well, now I am wondering if this is side effects at play or HOT FLASHES???? !!!!!! OR BOTH???!!! I am still in my 40's. I wonder if this could be perimenopause. SHIT! I am too young for this. (we need a red faced mad emoticon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted August 15, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 15, 2014 I bet it is all the vibing and manual yanking. Nothing good ever comes of that sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted August 15, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 15, 2014 My wife's been in perimenopause for a few years. She's 48 now. It could very well be perimenopause, but how will you know which it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted August 15, 2014 My wife's been in perimenopause for a few years. She's 48 now. It could very well be perimenopause, but how will you know which it might be? No idea. I am 46. I feel too young for menopause. Everything else is very normal. very very normal.

kingtermite Posted August 15, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 15, 2014 No idea. I am 46. I feel to young for menopause. Everything else is very normal. very very normal. She said the same when she started it about 45 or 46. Perimenopause IS possible. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted August 15, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 15, 2014 Well....it could be the meds...but it could be....perimenopause ....everyone is different...I have a friend a good 6 or 7 years older than me and she still can tell the time by the hot flashes....mine (knock on wood) are much better...and rarely have hit during the day...but let me tell you about night sweats ....hang on for the ride...and buy a couple of personal fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted August 16, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 16, 2014 There is some lab work your doctor can order to tell if it's perimenopause. Sounds like meds side-effects tho, since it suddenly came on when started the new meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris... Posted August 16, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 16, 2014 The wife has hot flashes. Takes some herbal meds, seems to work most nights. Although lately they've started again. Kicks the covers off at night, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ Posted August 16, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 16, 2014 Hot flashes are only felt in the upper body, so if you are feeling it in your legs it's probably the meds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
