Every article or post I've seen on menopausal women separate 'hot flashes' and 'night sweats'. Why is that? They are not any different. They are one in the same thing, just one happens during the day and one happens at night.
So why do they categorize them differently? It makes no sense to me but hey, if they want to add another item on the long list of symptoms, go right ahead.
Symptoms? They say this like it's a bad thing or that you're deathly ill with some mysterious other worldly disease! This is a natural process.
(or so I keep telling myself)
This is mother natures way of telling you your breeding days are over!
(not to mention a few other things!)
Quite honestly, my breeding days were over YEARS ago. My children are 30 (come November) and 27 (this week). When my youngest was 3 the hubby had his..let's just say he was 'fixed'. Many years later when my youngest was 11 *I* was fixed. Hence I have not been able to breed in over 16 years. I beat mother nature to the punch.
Nuff said on that.
Back to 'night sweats'..otherwise known as 'power surges when the lights are out'........:)
These are no different then the ones you have during the day save the fact that it will bring you out of a sound sleep. You will start tossing and turning, rolling and moaning. You'll wake to find you are burning up and sweating like a
You'll fling the covers off and wish the hell it was snowing in your room.
Sleep? No such animal. You'll punch the pillow as if it was your enemy, and try to lay back down, then you'll throw it away from you it cuz it's hot. You'll roll to a cooler section of the bed and it will heat up faster then a nuclear meltdown. To top it all off, you'll have to pee.
Just for a moment you'll think you've already done that because your sheets are soaked.
You're too tired to get up and change your sheets, matter of fact your too tired to get up to pee, so you'll lay there, hoping the urge will go away.
Nay nay, not so. Mother nature says "GO!" and out the bed you come.
If you'll remember, back in my first post (who I am) I mentioned powder? Oh yes, now's the time. As you sit on the throne you will start to cool down. The urge to take a shower will be high on your list of priorities right now, but depending on the time, ignore this and instead reach for "THE PUFF".
(I urge each and every one of you to purchase powder and a puff. Comes in it's own little box, with puff and will be worth it's weight in gold to you. I refill my little box with basic baby powder)
THE PUFF will become part of your daily routine. A blessing that you will partake in more then once a day! Powder is magical!
Rise from your throne oh queen of the puff and proceed to douse yourself in the magical benefits! Puff under the boobs, in the pits and between the legs. Lift up any 'sagging' places (fluffy areas) and puff away.
(and trust me, I have plenty of fluffy areas!)
Stand there and feel the glory of it all, the wonder of powder!
Now you can try to go back to bed, and sometimes you will succeed in sleep, sometimes not so much but I can guarantee you this..you will feel MUCH MUCH better. Like a silken sweat laden
Enjoy the puff it has magical properties.

PS: This post was brought to you by a sweat laden, fluffy crone (But I'm SILKEN!) who could not go back to sleep and rose at 4am. Sucks man.
