Evening high temp/ flush???

[BonnyB]

Morning all. I've been diagnosed with UCTD in November was given 400 hydroxy.

I should've had my 6 month appointment by now( guessing they're behind) with rheumatology. I've been keeping a diary in preparation for this. One thing I've noticed is i get really, really hot at 10pm on the dot every evening! My blood tests in November did show I'm going though menopause but surely a hot flush wouldn't be so precise every evening.

Just wondering whether your second dose of meds is required around that time?🤔☝️R u on 2 x 200mg tabs/day?

[BonnyB in reply to Ingrid1234]

Yes. I take 200 am and 200 teatime because they upset my stomach if I take it altogether x

I don't think meds causing it because surely I would feel like tgst during the day too. Its every evening at 10 o'clock x

Trying to work it all out is Impossible

I am also menopausal but also get sweaty/hot flushes at night. It comes on more with tiredness, stress and when I have a UTI. When I've slept for a while at night it tends to wear off. I manage it by keeping really cool at night -window open, no bedclothes, no clothes. I used to have a ceiling fan which was absolutely fab, and will definitely be getting another one.

I feel like the 10 pm one is different to the sweaty flushes I have in the night x

I thought I was the only one who experienced this! I have lupus and I am post menopausal, still taking some HRT. I can almost set the clock by my 10pm flush.

Weird isn't it. Although I'm thinking it may not be a hot flush x

My menopause flushes were not on the dot but my afternoon RA flush always IS!

Oh ok. So I'm wondering now if its not menopause with it being the same time every evening x
