When I get ready for work and get there, I notice what feels like a slow heating of my face, not so much in shoulder and neck area. This heating of my face sometimes feels as if my face is really dry, like a chapped feeling. I always use a mositurizer so I know it isn't dry. I have even asked my good friend, who works with me, if my face is red, and she tells me no, but it sure feels like it should be.
I have noticed some indigestion lately, more than I had before. I have tried to pin point a food for the cause, but haven't been successful with that, seems it comes from just about anything. Does anyone experience that as well?
I have really noticed a difference in my body shape. My tummy and hips seem to explode to massive sizes overnight. LOL. Doctor said that is a typical thing as well. Have to watch those lbs.
At night, I will awaken with a sweat that soaks my clothing, then of course, I change, but when I get back in bed, I will get very cold and experience tremors. The bed is shake, rattling and rolling, so to speak. This might happens twice a night, or not at all for a couple of weeks. Anyone else?

Just think of it as a temporary phase where your body has lost its internal thermostatic control. Do not let this type of symptom scare you as it is a normal part of the transition. Be warned that it can get a little crazy. I once counted over 60 hot flashes between 11pm and 3am which was exhausting to say the least. My serious hot flashes lasted about 3 years but everyone is unique, you may only have them for a matter of months. I used to need a fan in every room and I have slept with the fan on all night. Poor hubby; he had to go to bed in thermal underwear!
