ok, so this is getting to me. I'm sitting here reading the paper and my lower back, and legs start to feel funny., wiggly like, can't really describe it. then I think what is that? It seems to go up my back and then my head feels funny and I get really hot in the face. Did I cause a hot flash to happen or is this a precursor to a hot flash? I really really wanted to stop the worrying today and feel really good. I am not happy about this. I feel a little shaky now too. My mind just races. I may try a xanax to calm down, my stomach is tightening up too.

Please let me know how you feel about this. Thanks

Dear 'enough'

I feel you have bravely put up with a lot but you do sound very anxious and that often makes things worse.The stomach tightens up and the blood surges to the head.Take the Xanax and see how you feel.I have used them on and off over the years and have never upped the dose.In fact I only use them as a less desperate emergency but that maybe weeks after using none.

Let us know how you get on

All the very Best

I was just setting here at the computer and had spell similar.

Sounds like you have internal tremors too.

Wondering if I'm going to get a period, holding my breath since my last one was in Aug.

Thanks, I didnt' take anything and kept busy and it did pass. Whew! I guess it was a surge. I hate them, but must learn how to deal with it.

Have a good day.

Good for You

You are one strong lady and I really hope and pray you continue to do well

Warm Wishes
Elizabeth

I get a similar thing - my legs turn to jelly (if I try to walk it is like I am seriously drunk) then it all moves up to my head and I get the spins anywhere from a minute to about 5 minutes. During this time I get really hot, but not sweaty hot, just on fire. My bowels feel odd, and I get queasy. It can leave me pretty shaky, and very chilled. I had one about 6 am. today. I am terrified I will have one when driving or when I have a job interview, because there is no getting away and no hiding it - I have to lie down or at least put my head in my hands if I am sitting and just ride it out. It is like being on a slow amusement park ride. Yuck. I hope yours was jsut an anomaly.

I tell you, I wish my hot flashes just meant getting HOT!!
