A hotflash right after a shower?

I have a hotflash every single time I take a shower. As soon as I get out of a cool shower and get dressed, I start this horrible sweating.

Is it just me? I hate this!!!
Hugs to everyone,

This is a MAJOR trigger for me. It doesn't matter if the shower is lukewarm, hot or cool - a hot flush will come on around 5 to 10 mins after - so much so I can hardly bear to get dressed. and as far as using a blow dryer for my hair - FORGET IT!! I can't even apply foundation as it slides right off.
I am seriously thinking of starting to take my showers at night although after a night of sweating it's probably needed more in the morning.
Sigh.....I just don't know. I've found that anything at all that has an effect on body temp (showers, hot drinks, food) brings a major one on for me.
By the time I get to work I am a hot , sweaty, uncomfortable mess who doesn't want to face the day :-( "woe is us" !!

However - my Mum is 85 and went thru all this hell on earth and now she can run rings around me in energy and health!! There's hope!!!! xxx

when it happens to me I just go stand naked under the ceiling fan until it passes (and I'm dry!). Seems to work pretty well. Maybe the water hitting our skin triggers something in us that causes the hot flashes because it does seem to happen regardless of the water temperature.
