A Message From a Zombie

All right already with the menopause. I thought I was over those disgusting symptoms/side effects of menopause. Last few nights I discovered I was not.

Here is discussion between DH & TennLady over the last week.

TL: Why are you wearing a sweatshirt?
DH: It's cold in here.
TL: Honey, it's 95 degrees outside and 77 in here. It's not cold.
DH: Yes it is. Can we turn the thermostat up a degree or so?
TL: No, put another sweatshirt on.

Many years ago when I was great with second child, during one of the hottest springs and summers that I could remember, with no air conditioning, I swore I would never be without it again. Of course, it didn't help that I had gained 60 lbs and people frequently asked how many babies I was carrying in there. It was awful. Oh and I was chasing a two year old around that summer too! After the birth of second child, it was if the weight and heat of the world had lifted.

So here I am 26 years later having already experienced menopause, when it strikes again. Hot flashes, sleepless nights. So now I ask:

Why can't hot flashes occur when its cold out?
