Odd Question - Menopause shirts - HA! For when you run hot!

SandGirl · ‎03-09-2010

This is an odd questions - I am going through the change of life, I use to be SOO COLD all the time, like everyone was hot even in teh summer I would freeze, ALL of my cloths are the type I can layer like a tank under or a tshirt or something, well now if I layer I just get way too hot, I need to find a few tops that are long or mid sleeve (I don't like short sleeve at my work)

So my question to you is, do you have a fav. style shirt that looks nice but doesn't make you feel overheated, maybe one you liked so well you bought it in a few colors for some "staple" type tops, I would love to hear what you are lovings.

Sure, I can browse and look but if you have any suggestions, I would really like to hear them.

TIA for listening to me!

i used to be freezing all the time too! now i can go in a freezing AC store or restaurant no problem.

i will layer tops if it seems like i might need to cover up. mostly in summer it's sleeveless and natural fibers...

I was only the one freezing, I wore layers and always had to dress warm which I love, I just hate short sleeves at work in my office environment so I need to find light clothing that still "covers" me a bit, do not mean big and baggy, just material or styles that don't make me overheat

Same here. I have had hot flashes now going on eleven years. I don't think they will stop until I am gone. Can't stand anything tight around my neck. I wear tanks, with a flowy shirt over,, jeans or capris. Otherwise, I am home and don't have to be uncomfortable.

They aren't as intense as years ago, but still bothersome. Loose fitting dresses for dressier occasions.

@Coastalcarolina Its unreal, I mean I knew they were coming some day but oh my I felt like I went to bed a cold person and woke up a whole diff. temp, I do get flashes at times but my overall temp is just WARM now, OMG I can barely get my hair done, I get so hot trying to get ready. Oh, this stuggle is real!! I have many years until retirement so I have to figure out how to do this until I can be home and comfortable!

@SandGirl , I actually timed them one time! Exactly every 30 minutes, kinda like old faithful! Doing the math, I figured I had experienced at least 500,000. 🥵. I was blessed though, I never had the sweat beads, just the heat. But my face was beet red. Soooo embarrassing in social situations.
