Does anyone else get hot flashes along with their endo?? I don't know if it's a low grade fever or not, but the best way I can explain it is like I'll get this sudden like burning up feeling, without sweating.

And wen my endo is really bad I only sweat from my pelvis down. Do any other of my wonderful endo warriors have the same issue?

I get hot flashes to the point I sweat so much I have to change my clothes. I sweat more around the groin and buttocks. But they get so bad I want to jump into freezer. My doctor has no idea why I have these bad sweats. I've been suffering from them since I was 13.

Yes! They make me want to punch the next person who says "You're too young to have hot flashes". It tends to start up sometime during the week before I bleed (and i run a mild fever when it's happening). The hot flashes and the feeling that someone injected my veins with a rage drug or a make you cry easily drug accompanies it. And the kicker is I can be outside in cold, windy, rainy weather feeling like my skin should be drenched in sweat and I'm not sweating at all. It's like my body can't figure out how to autoregulate my temperature. It stopped happening when I went on Visanne (oral synthetic progesterone) to stop my periods. I had been diagnosed with estrogen dominance before going on the Visanne, maybe ask your doctor if estrogen dominance is a possible factor for you? I would also notice that my breasts would be getting more and more tender by the day and then the hot flashes would start, like I knew to be prepared for hot flashes once my breasts started to really hurt near my arm pits.

Huh. I've never heard of estrogen dominance, I'll definitely have to bring it up to my dr. But yea, I'm 23 and am tired of hearing that I'm too young for them too!
