Hot flushes (and gratuitous baby photo).

I know we've discussed this before and I am much more in control of hot flushes now.

I was wondering....

I moved smoothly from menopausal hot flushes to steroidal (or is it PMR I forget) flushes and now get one or 2 flushes in 24 hours, always one once I have got up for the loo around 6/7am.

Do the male suffers have hot flushes?

Nothing wrong with gratuitous baby photos!

As for male flushes - no idea at all! That really is a new question!!!!!!!

What a gorgeous baby! Nothing gratuitous about showing her off.

My guess is that all PMR sufferers get hot irrespective of gender, but we kind of lay claim to that territory ( and much else) so we don't hear enough from the chaps. The Pred flushes aren't hormonal are they?

Not sure about the males, but I do get 3 or 4 flushes a day and I am way past menopause. I was getting the flushes before prednisone and before my diagnosis of PMR and I was at least 8 yrs past menopause. I wish I knew what it was. I DO know that soy affects me and it will increase my flushes, so I stay away from anything soy. I am gluten-free and try to stay organic too. But I still “heat up” at times and off comes the long sleeves and the window gets opened! Ugh 😑

It is PMR and/or pred - each will cause flushes and together probably makes it worse.

Don't know about men and hot flushes apart from at world cup time. That baby is totally edible, what a beauty.
