How long does the hot sensation last? Is it only after exertion?

OK, I am with you there!!! Getting ready to turn 50 in two weeks.! now
everynight sitting with AC on, ceiling fan going and two room fans blowing on
me and just sweating bricks!! so now trying to figure out does it have
something to do with TM or menopause

I would be more like you in temperatures but were I live there isn't
many places with airconditioners...so I have noticed that after 3 o'clock in
the afternoon I get hot....but I also have hot flashes at any time too.....and
I can just be on the computer just like right now and be sweating up a
storm...and I soak what ever I am wearing....I also turned 50 this year...so my
Doctor told me to keep track of what is going on, because there are a lot of
things can be happening...I could be pre menopausal.....haven't had any
improvement from this yet...sorry to say.

You two seem to be worse than I am! I have found in the winter I
choose lighter sweaters than before TM. In the summer,
we keep the air conditioner pretty cool - around 71 with ceiling fans
going too. In the winter we keep the heat at around
65 during the day and 60 at nite. All our friends know to wear
heavier clothing and grab an afghan when they come over.
I also can be doing basically nothing and all of a sudden I feel a heat
coming out from within - hate it. Hope this improves.

Hi Janice
I get very hot when it is only in the 70 or 80's for no
reason I can just be on the computer or watching TV and I will get real hot so
much that I sweat a lot..(I soak my blouse) but I only sweat on my face neck
and breasts..my lesion is at nipple level T4 my banding is where my bra
snaps...so it feels like my bra is way to tight.
In the cold weather I get more spastic and tight it hurts
to bend knees and ankles. I still have the banding in winter too...and if my
husband puts the furnace up to high I will over heat...I love to go out in the
snow with just what I have on and bear foot and watch all the steam come off
me..its a riot...

This is Janice,
I have 2 questions:
1. With hot weather coming, do any of you have a problem
with all of a sudden being really hot? I know some
of you had a problem with the cold last winter, but does
your body change in summer and you get hit with being hot instead
of cold? I really have a problem with heat - especially
with humidity. I get hot, then weak. Not good.
2. Several of you have mentioned the tight "band" around
your body. I am not sure this band is in the same place for
everyone. Also, has there been any change in the band
with those of you who have had TM for a long time?
