We've all had the stomach flu. You're sitting around. Everything is fine. Then suddenly this weird wave comes over you. Your mouth feels, for lack of a better word, sweaty. You swallow a lot, your head feels like it's floating off your neck then suddenly your body is rejecting anything you have in your belly. After 2 minutes of bodily chaos you feel fine. Then...exactly an hour later the process repeats, and does so every hour on the hour through the night. At least that's how it is for me. It always seems to begin in the evening and last through the night. Why is that?!!
Now that I'm in the throws of menopause, I'm suffering from the dreaded hot flashes. I know, billions of women have and will suffer from them. I'm not so special. Aside from the obvious inconvenience of them, I actually find them fascinating. Tonight as I lay in bed trying to nod off, I felt the wave coming and I suddenly realized something. Hot flashes are 'skin flu'. I feel perfectly fine when a wave comes over me. The top of my head tingles. Then my chest. Next thing I know I'm I'm a mad rush to take off whatever garments I can appropriately remove and my face and neck are suddenly drenched in sweat. My skin just vomited. Half hour to 45 minutes later the process repeats, and does so for eternity~~~
