After swimming at the YMCA this morning I thought I'd try out the sauna. It only took about 5 minutes before I had a simulated "hot flash". Now I'm not even 52 years old yet (next month) and I'm not quite at the point where I should be expecting a hot flash. But this was quite convincing.
I had one friend several years ago describe a hot flash as a power surge, hmmmm, not so bad??? or was that just her way of brushing it off?
I think it very interesting that all of us women of certain age go through "the change" in such a different way. Different ages (some as young as 40), different symptoms... some of them mild or some like my mom who had severe cycles, hot flashes and night sweats.
So is this something to dread.... or something to look forward to? A transition to a new phase in our lives?
