Peculiar illness? hot flash?

Hey, all,

A few months ago, I had what I thought was a hot flash, but toward the
end of the day I realized it had lasted all day. It actually lasted
three days, and aspirin did not help at all. No other symptoms, no
ache, no runny anything, no headache. After three days of what felt
like very high temps (I don't have a thermometer) it just stopped, as
suddenly as it came.

I wouldn't be mentioning it, because I thought it was a bug of some
kind, but it's back. I feel warm, but skin-warm, not hot-flash warm.
Again, aspirin is not making it go away.

So has anybody else had this sort of thing? I'm hoping it's a bug,
because since I have antibodies now, it might only last a day; it
doesn't feel quite so intense as it did before.

Anything?

Not something I've experienced.

If it's a bug, it might not be the same one, so the antibodies might not
help.

When my cortisol cycles high, I am HOT and I get break through flashes
on the same estradiol gel does that normally keeps them away.

Hm. Doesn't sound like what I experienced. And it did only last about
16 hours, praise dog.

I forget; did you take your temp?

I never got not flashes, just 24/7 warm annoying ones, and some cold
flashing, too.

Glad it's gone, though. It happened a lot to me during the awful year
that I was on metformin and didn't recognize how many awful things that
were happening were a result of it.
