Glad to hear it!

Hot flashes, askye? Or reaction to a medication? I hope it resolves.

I hope the timing of the expert sudoku and your dad's procedure line up perfectly, Tappy.

I've decided to jump into my tax return. Ugh. Don't wanna. And yet it has to happen. Personal, then corporate.

Go Teppy being a good daughter and good human being. I am so impressed that my sister has managed to put up with my dad for nearly two years now. I would’ve murdered him about a year and a half ago. Though neither of us figured he’d still be around at this point. And we are both like “the diabetic man wants to eat cookies for breakfast and ice cream for dinner? Well, he’s almost 85, what’s it going to do, kill him a few days sooner? Oh no”. The dermatologist had him putting this chemo cream on his head to kill any possible skin cancer, and it causes painful shedding and sores and she and I were both line “is the skin cancer really going to be what gets him at this point? Is this worth it?”

Dad's procedure was indeed quick and easy, and I got him back home about an hour ago, and I just finished my lunch (got hungry at 2:30, not 3:17). I had planned to be off the entire day, so now I might take a nap.

I don't think this is hot flashes. Because it's also the dizziness and all of that. Could be per in menopause.

Or my blood sugar. Who knows. But I felt like I was going to pass out I've sat down and and had some electrolyte drink.

I looked on MyChart and it says my EKG and glucose levels were abnormal but who knows what that means. But will be asking my doctor tomorrow

Timelies all!

My co-worker who took early retirement had her last day today. A new person started this week.(she was in a lab that shut down.) However, tomorrow and Monday there will only be three of us in the lab to process samples.The late shift person isn't one of them, so someone has to stay until 6:30 each night. I volunteered for tomorrow. Lets see how that goes...

To be honest, so is "Are you even anything?"

It really is. It's my favorite part of the exchange.

I keep sweating but it's not that hot. Like I don't feel that hot. And my face keeps getting really red. Except I can only feel it because the skin on my face feels like a layer of fire over my face. But not all the time.

This is a description of the worst in perimeno hot flashes I went through. Bad but not honestly for long. Maybe 6 months of the brutal hot flashes that felt like I was roasting. And I've been in peri since 2011.

I get random flushes, usually on one side of my face or arm.

We bought a house! Fucking finally. This has been probably the most stressful two weeks of my life that haven't involved injury or death.

Congrats, Dana! Way more of an adventure than it should have been, for sure

Congrats Dana!!

Cass yeah I'm thinking this whole thing is part of perimeno I've already dealing with the ragey ragey aspect, the near complete death of my sex drive, my hair has been falling out like crazy (I went from having fine but thick hair to having fine hair and oh look! I think a bald spot is forming!), and my sleep is even worse than usual. Plus random aches and pains. I'm pretty sure for me it started around 2013. Nothing major but just my cycle changing ..
