POLL - hot flashes

[Biciclista]

I don't have the flashes while I am riding. I have them the next night.

I'm about six year post-menopause. Was on HRT for two years in the "peri" stage of things, when hot flashes and insomnia were at their worst. After I weaned myself off the HRT, I had the occasional hot flash, mainly triggered by stress. Insomnia is still an issue, however.

Now I can't remember the last time I had a hot flash. I don't think they were ever related to cycling or working out. I guess I should count myself among the fortunate.

About the same for me.
Random & sporatic.

The real sweaty ones are pretty unusual--maybe one a month or so. Not as much a problem as the old once a month routine.

I very rarely get hot flashes....so far.

And when I do, it's for 5-10 min., early morning after I am awake in bed.

Very rarely, so far (I'm 50 and still have periods...though they're more irregular than they used to be).

I find that if I exercise really hard and sweat a lot, then I don't get any night sweats that night. Talk about an incentive to keep exercising hard!

Oh how very interesting. So far, it's pretty random. Hot flashes for me are not really bad, they've been mostly amusing (which is a good thing because i've been having them for a LONG TIME)
