I was lucky. I never had hot flashes.

I am thinking menopause is going to cost me tens of thousands of dollars in air conditioning. I think I am going to get solar panels and a tesla house battery.

Try living in Texas and having them . Or Singapore for that matter. Airconditioner could not get the temperature down far enough and believe me I tried and we had the electric bills to prove it!

Unless you can get your house down to about -20 deg F! That's about what it takes! I had mine at a friend's house in upstate NY and stood outside on her deck trying to cool off. It was about -20. It felt good, until it didn't. I have been traveling and missed all my meds the last 2 mornings. Last night, the rolling night time sweats started up. Yuck! I wound up taking a shower at 3 am, I was so soaked.

Never had them during the day but nights were disgusting. For about a year I kept extra pajamas by the bed so I could quickly get the soaked ones off without waking up to much. For another year I didn't wear anything to bed and I'm the person who would always need and electric blanket before. It was over in a couple of years . I tried the black co-hash and a couple otc things but they didn't work much for me.

Along with peri menopause, you might have an under active thyroid. A simple blood test will determine for you whether your thyroid isn't pulling its weight. I'm already on thyroid meds. It is not pulling it's weight. I'm on Armour Thyroid for the past year and a half, was on levothyroxine for the 6 or 7 years before that. I feel like a new person on Armour. Worth a shot if you haven't tried it already.
