Meaplus3 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ok. I know these flashes of hot heat I get are due to the ever so wondeful phase in a womens life called perimeno, but they are annoying as all heck. I get them bad like every other month right before my cycle. Some times it wakes me from my sleep and I want to step inside my fridge to cool off. I'm wondering if anyone can relate? If so, have you found anything that helps this annoying Hot issue. Mea:) Link to post Share on other sites
freestyle Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ah, the dreaded "night sweats". Nothing like taking a shower right before sleeping and needing another first thing in the morning.................... ......(unless there was fun involved) I've heard that sleeping on a buckwheat pillow is supposed to allow for greater air flow on the head and neck. Haven't tried it yet, myself, but my sister swears by them. One woman I knew kept a mister in her purse to spray her neck and cool it off. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know where to buy one? I really can't stand the feeling of being so hot.. it's awful. I kick all the cover off for a bit, then once the flash is over I'm ice cold.

honeypear Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Mea...Wht has worked wonders for me is Tshirt bedsheets, a small fan in the room, light blanket in case it does get cold..And if all else fails a can of ice cold diet coke between the boobs will help as well.
