Menopause: How Do You Deal With The Heat Wave?

<h1>Menopause: How Do You Deal With The Heat Wave?</h1>Author: <a title="Diane Palmer" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/diane-palmer/21600.htm">Diane Palmer</a> During Menopause, so many changes are going on, that the list of symptoms you see on some websites is huge! Some women manage to get through the process without even a hair out of place and others are dropped right in the middle of the worst symptoms. I thought I was going to be one of those lucky ones, but NOT! But with a few changes to your routines, you just may make it out the other end unscathed! One of the symptoms that most menopausal women are familiar with is "hot flashes" or "hot flushes".. either way, you get this intense heat, then the chills, and you are sure you are coming down with some kind of international flu.. Anything that can get you overheated, will quite often, trigger a hot flush which can be a real issue, especially if it is already hot outside. You have to be extra careful exercising, as you are more prone to heat related issues such as heat exhaustion etc... Personally cutting the lawn has always been something I enjoy, but now with the "extra heat" I have had to change my scheduling, or risk feeling dizzy and overheated. I used to enjoy cutting the lawn during the day, but now I have to cut it at night, just before dark, armed with bug spray! The same with walking the dogs.. night or very early AM. The family, of course look at me like I have lost it, or have been taken over by aliens as I weed my garden by moonlight, but I monitor all my activities based on the temps outside now. Right now it is summer here, so I garden at the crack of dawn, and take it easy during the hottest part of the day, which is probably what you are suppose to do anyways, but with menopause, these times can be extra special.. I was surprised to see other women in my age group, on my early morning treks, and we nod, in that "knowing" way, and realize that I am not the only one going through this "change" as my grandmother used to call it! So, shake up those routines, and don't let this menopause stuff get you down, this too, will pass.. They say you feel liberated when it is all done.. I am hanging on to that! But for now, I will garden by moonlight and keep the bedroom freezing cold!
