Hot Head
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this...even when I am not wearing a wig or a hat or scarf, my head gets profusely hot and sweats periodically throughout the day and night, even when I am sleeping, (it wakes me up). It doesn't feel like a hot flash, I have had those in the past and this feels different. My hot flashes were more like a rush of heat that would start at chest level and work it's way up to my head. This is mainly at the level of my head. Just wondering if this is a side effect of the chemo perhaps. Gotta love all these quirky things that go along with this! Oh boy, and if I have a wig on because we are going somewhere special, like the wedding last week and this weekend coming up, it is really uncomfortable and I sweat terribly. Last week I kept going in the bathroom at the hotel and stuffing tissues under my wig to absorb the sweat. Such fun!
