Hot flashes finally found me!

So interestingly enough, I managed to elude the hot flashes while on Lupron (without add-back therapy) but I've got them now that I'm on Methadone (and at the low dosages)!  Unexpected.   Funny how that works.  So my Mom and I weren't able to bond over Menopausal hot flashes as I previously expected.  No exchanging embroidered pillows: "real women don't have hot flashes, they have power surges."  I don't think they make a line of pillows or cards that covers drug induced hot flashes - though they clearly should.  There's a market for these things! 

Since I did not have the third shot of Lupron last week, I am already starting to feel a bit more like myself -- emotional stability here I come!  Hopefully that means the hormones are kicking in and things are "turning on" for lack of a better phrase.  I'm not sure how quickly that happens though.  

As I type this I am laying on the couch looking at my tan legs and orange, splotchy, dirty, looking feet.  I am clearly a novice with the self tanner.  I must fix those before my doctor appointment Thursday.  I hate self tanners, they make you smell so weird, but I always give them a go once every summer.
