What Blood Test For Menopause
My daughter has been experiencing Hot Flashes since she was 18! What causes this?
My daughter is now thirty-six years old and has seen a GP, Gyno, Endocrinologist, and Internist. She shows no Signs Of Menopause or perimenopause according to a number or exams and blood tests. It is uncomfortable ane embarrassing for her to go into meetings or go out for an evening because she keeps flushing and perspiring! Her hair gets wet, her make-up runs and she is miserable. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it?
hello.... she is NOT alone. I know what she is going through. It has controlled my life and taken over my life. I have given up on wearing make up or fixing my hair. The make swets off on to my clothes, and my hair gets so wet that it goes flat, and I have had people ask me why I am swetting in the middle of winter. I was on this date one time. I went to the bathroom and came back and my hair was wet, the guy goes oh you washed your hair in the bathroom. I could have died. I do not bother going out anymore, or to places where I need to look nice. My family does not understand why I dont wear make up or fix my hair. No matter what kind of deoderant how much, I am ALWAYS wet under my arm pits. Good thing my arm pits swet does not stink. It really sucked at my sisters wedding, I was the wet matron of honor. I was all swety, my make up came off, my hair went flat, and swet dripping down my face and neck. I researched this. There is a solution. This called over active swet glands. There is a swet gland under the arm pit, that causes excessive sweating to the head and face. You can have that swet glan cut, to stop the swet. There is a dr. in CA that will perform the procedure. It is safe and it works. There is one side effect though, many who havd had it, noticed they started to swet on their stomaches. But heck I figure stomache is better then face and head. I notice if I get nervouse about something, my head seems to swet even more. I know all to well what your daughter is going through. My hair can be competely dry and the next thing I know it is soacked with swet, and it is dripping down my neck. Looks like I just got out of shower and never dried off. I always have to carry napkins with me, so I can dab the swet off my face. Tell her she is not alone, and that I am misserable with her. Tell her to reseach on the net, over active swet glands. I want to have the surgery, I live in Minnesota and have been waiting for it to come to this area. I hope this has been some help.... It can be middle of winter, below zero and I am swetting. I have even tried putting my make up in car in winter in the cold, and I still swett, even in front of the ac at home I swet and the make up comes off.
