It's not just breaking out in a sweat, but I have extreme nausea as I hit a hot flash. Googled it and happens in some women although rarer. I can't think of when I've gone more than 5-minutes dry in the last week. I've been vomiting all day, and it's always as I hit that hot spot so I'm either running for the bathroom or waiting for the wave of nausea to ease. I've read so many posts on here and understand that finding something that works is going to take a while as we're all different but did/does anyone stay sweaty constantly? Really, sweaty and cool every 5-minutes 24/7? Did you get nausea to the point of vomiting? I honestly can't keep working in this state, I'm a waste at work. I left a 2-hour meeting twice today and had my head under a sink of running water to help ease the heat and nausea - and I had a convenient place to vomit all in one. Currently drinking ginger tea as I haven't eaten anything since Sunday morning and the thought of eating anything sends me spinning although I'm going to try something/anything tonight no matter what, even if a peice of toast. No caffeine and obviously no spicy food as I'm not eating anything. I had TCH #5 Thursday and ears are ringing, I'm getting more awake as the night goes on and can't imagine how anyone functions like this and then goes to work the next morning. All my joints are in pain. I know this too shall pass but how do I continue to work (or not well in my case right now; I didn't show up until almost noon today) and I support myself full-time.
I have run, played tennis and hiked gratefully through this deal, cooked great meals, had friends over for sporting events with pizza/beer/wine, etc, and did fine. Until now. I adore my boyfriend but wonder how much more he (or I) can take. He washes my clothes and paints my toenails
But I'm also getting snippy with him and he does not deserve it. He just doesn't get it. I feel like it would be fair to move on from him and not bring him down with me because I'm not capable of our old lifestyle right now.
In summary, anyone with constant-constant hot flashes? I haven't read this here. Every few minutes.
Flashes that causes vomiting? Very little info on this.
How did you work if you did?
TCH pains at the same time? Mine are achy joints, mostly legs.
Starting to get weepy and cry -Not me!
Thanks for listening to someone who has "hit the hall".
