Hello, im 26 of age and im too having these hotflashes.

I eaither get them all day or they will be hit and miss during the week. I just had a baby 6mo ago and thought that it was my hormones still going crazy. I will awake in the middle of the night with night sweat so much that it feels as if i wet my bed.

I have been in and out of the doctors for more test then anything, and they can not put there finger on it.

It is scary, at time when i have these so called attacks i get shaky and very light headed then i start to sweat from my back of my neck, under and between my breast, back of my legs and so much under my arms that it get so embarrestin, (im not over weight, current weight is 136, 5′6 ft tall)

Then i get hyper, I just wish i knew what is going on, many people are telling me that these sytomps are menapause, but im way to young. Arent I?

What could be the answer?

I just turned 30 in March of 2005. I am 5′7 @ 190 pounds. I am taking YASMIN as my birth control pill and I am also on ZOLOFT 50mg. I have two boys ages 7 & 6. For some reason over the past two months or longer I have not been sleeping well, all I do is have hotflashes. I don’t understand at the age of 30 why my body is doing this. I have called my OBGYN for her help. I go in two days. I have no clue what to ask the doctor or what to expect. Is this normal at my age? I find myself very worried about this.

Any advice would be wonderful.

Help! I am 5o years old and and plagued by perptual hot flashes. I tried the hormones - sure, they helped but I felt bloated all the time and now again I stopped them and have hot flashes at least 4 times an hour. Does any one suffer with this, and if so do you take hormones or have a more natural remedy that actually works? I’ve tried soy and soy products to no avail. I’ m so frustrated and the doctors just want to give you hormones. Any suggestions would be great.

Peace, Marsha

In 1961 Jenny Joseph wrote a poem entitled “Warning” which begins,

In 1996, a BBC poll found that “Warning” had become Britain’s favorite poem.

Inspired by the poem, and by her own enjoyment of a red hat, Sue Ellen Cooper of California, along with a few friends, started the Red Hat Society. Members meet for tea parties and other events, wearing bright purple outfits and red hats. (Junior members, who are under age 50, wear lavender outfits and pink hats.) As the society grew, the idea spread, and there are now over 55,000 members with over 2,000 chapters around the world.

Information about the original Red Hat Society can be found at www.redhatsociety.com. The rights to reproduce and sell copies of the poem “Warning” belong to Elizabeth Lucas, who has a website at www.elizabethlucasdesigns.com.
