Every woman has to go through this stage – some of us have it easier than others but I have found that when doctors tell you it lasts around 5 years, they really have no idea of how long it may last. I can remember my poor mother at age 80 still having a hot flush – and trying to be blase about it as she didn’t believe it would last over 30 years. My late husband was finally sympathetic when he had to have hormonal treatment for cancer and had all the menopause symptoms.

I know exactly how she feels although with me, my hair would look like I’d been in a sauna. I used to sleep on a towel so it was easier to change than have to sleep in a wet bed until morning. I’d go through at least 3 sets of pyjamas a night, even if it was freezing cold. My hubby was wonderful. He’d tell me to put the air-con on as cold as I liked and he just put his electric blanket on. It was a win/win situation.

I’ve been lucky, mine haven’t been too bad – but enough to have sympathy for her!

I dont know if this is fake or not.
If it is real, why are you perpetuating the cycle and sharing this poor womans face?
Have seome respect

I hope she’s alright, either she’s very hot, or the air temperature is very cold.

Oh my goodness; the poor woman; that is extreme and not pleasant at all. Hot flushes are so very real and unlike any other heat ever experienced. It does indeed feel like you are on fire inside and the sudden extreme heat and the sweat dripping is extremely unpleasant and happens with no control.

After a terrible time at puberty and just horrific menstrual cycle I’m really not looking forward to menopause and I’m actually terrified. I’ve had hot flashes before from different things and I know how terrible they make you feel. I salute the women that are going through this right now. I’ll be there soon, I’m sure.

  Aw bless, that does sound serious ! I have a friend who suffered greatly under her menopausal symptoms and she got Veozah (Fezolinetant) prescribed. The FDA approved this medication for moderate to severe hot flashes in 2023. Veozah is a neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor agonist that works by binding to and blocking the activities of the NK3 receptor, which helps regulate body temperature in the brain. There is also other non hormonal drugs treatment possible. I would certainly talk to your specialist when it comes to that

I can believe it. My hot flushes were incredible and so frequent. It can be horrific.

  Every bit of sympathy because they really are quite unpleasant and no one can really tell you how they feel until they have been experienced. Thankfully there is more understanding of symptoms and people are happy to talk about their experiences and to show compassion and kindness when they are experienced.

Wow, that’s crazy. Poor lady. I am definitely getting the hot flushes and also night sweats which are really not pleasant but I’ve never had steam coming off my head, at least I really don’t think I have anyway and i hope this is something I never have to go through.

  No I never had steam coming from my head either. I found that eating soy helped with the symptoms. Soy isoflavones may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats that many women have during menopause. In clinical studies, postmenopausal women who eat high amounts of dietary soy protein (20 to 60 g per day) generally have fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats than those who eat less soy.

Oddly i never suffered with this at all but I am working with a woman at the moment who suffers with this really badly. She is always complaining about how hot it is and she wants the air con ramped up so everyone else freezes. She has mood swings also and can be very crabby

I’m 61 yr this week and no more hot flushes, but yes I certainly had them but had no steam coming from my head. A study revealed the importance of estrogens for heat dissipation, which is directly related to the steam emanating from Tracey Monique’s head. “Estrogens affect heat dissipation by regulating cutaneous vasoconstriction and fluid vaporization,” the study explains. Very interesting indeed

I feel her pain, the flushes are real. Some days my hot flushes are mild and I just get real hot for about 40 sec then some times they are so hot I just want to shave my head and rip my clothes off just to cool down. Again this only last about 40 sec then I’m cold.
I know my symptoms are mild compared to others.

Wow the things we have to go through!

Just incredible what us women go through in life!! It doesnt end

Wow! I haven’t seen that happen. Hot flushes aren’t fun. One time I took my temp as I thought I had one. Nope! No temp. I don’t like night sweats. They interrupt my sleep. I do feel for that lady. I would be happy to have my Period gone forever!

Oh my goodness, this poor woman. When I started reading this article i wasn’t sure if i believed it but wow i can’t believe this woman goes through this. Menopause it not nice, i have started experiencing some early signs of it and it really plays havoc on our bodies but this, wow. I feel for her.

I couldn’t believe this video when I saw it! Oh my goodness, what women go through huh. She looks like such a lovely woman, having a good ol chuckle in such a frustrating moment.
