Before it was discovered that I had MS, I had started going through the change.  Now this is for the ladies so just smile .  Here recently I have been flashing again (hot flashing) one minute I am cool as a cucumber and the next I want to run through the street butt naked, such as I can.   I am sitting in church with my makeup flawlessly done, when all of a sudden water begins to run done my forehead, and out of my hair,  smoke is coming out from under my arm pits and I am using the church program to fan, then I am asking the church usher to please turn the air on.  It is 32 degrees outside.  But I am sweating like it is 90 degrees, but it only last about five minutes!  So embrassing, my makeup has started to run, I have black eyes, and my face is splotched, what a MESS!  OK I am beginning to cool down the water that was ruuning out of my hair has stopped, the tissue that I was wipping my face with has torn to bits, my eyes are totally black now.  I have wiped all traces of makeup off, and I use MAC so it aint cheap!  Not to mention at night, I am constantly throwing covers, my husband just stared wraping up like a mummy that is the only way he can keep himself covered .  When will it end soon I hope, but until it does, I will carry plenty of paper towels they do not leave residue, I will dab my make up instead of rub it.  I will sleep under a sheet instead of a quilt that way I will not be so hot!  Ladies life aint fair, but it is ours!
