Hot flushes (and gratuitous baby photo).

[IdasMum]

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.

Lovely photo!

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