Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
've been going to bed shivering and waking up broiling--tossing all my covers off no matter what the actual air temperature might be--around 4 am.
That's my experience, too. I'll snuggle in under the blankets, and in the wee hours I'm flinging them off.
That's the kidneys, Theo. Hunters do the opposite, put hot packs there to keep warm. It does affect the whole body, as all the blood keeps cycling through there.
I need more info info about this whole menopause/perimenopause thing. My periods have certainly gotten more irregular and I probably have some of the other symptoms too.
I don't get the extreme heat shifts but my inner thermometer is absolutely out of whack.

This, so much. Because aside from if I wake up sweating in the middle of the night, I don't sweat during these episodes otherwise. And I had a friend who used to, and would whip out something to fan herself with, etc. I just feel like everything beneath the skin is about to boil over. It's really weird.
Wow, I think I may also have peri-menopause. The going to sleep cold and waking up a sweaty mess in the middle of the night is very familiar
Nodding.
I have much lighter and shorter periods than I used to, but I have them every 3 weeks, which is somewhat tedious.
Mine are much, much heavier than they used to be.
Timelies all!
The earlier conversation about dog crossbreeds made me think of the Eric Bogle song "Little Gomez", about a very amorous chihuahua.
Can't comment on my period because Mirena changed my life. I may have a day or two of spotting but it is SUCH a difference. Of course, my doctors plan is that I will be done with menopause by the time it would need to be replaced. Geee, thanks. This getting older shit bites.
I'm having a rough recovery day. On FB Amy wished she could send me Jensen Ackles and all I could think of was "ew, I don't want him to see me like this". I spent an hour weeping and have managed to piss of my only helper. He is still helping, so there is that.
