double menopause
by Guest Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:58 pm
i think XH and i are BOTH menopausing.
i am hot ALL the time, and he is COLD all the time. mine has an explanation, what's his problem?
result? constant bickering over thermostat and fan. In the night I bring it down by like 10 points (what else to do when it's set at hellish 82), i have the fan blasting on, lying in my bed spread out in X-shape, nightie up the legs (sometimes not even the pajama on if my shirt is long enough), arms open wide in the air, TRYING to sleep; and he enters - IT'S SO COLD!!!
right now too in the fam room. I close the laptop every 10-20 minutes and put it away coz it gets so damn hot. So I am sitting here, sweaty face, nightie slowly soaking in, legs exposed to air, and he was trying to turn the fan off before i growled at him and he threw his hands in the air and left the room. He's like - don't wear that gown if you are hot. and I am like - this is a NIGHTIE not a gown, and you go wear a sweatshirt.
and no, it's not just me who's hotter than normal. Our tie breakers are our kids, who also yell when he sets the thermostat at, like 82. They STILL yell when i bring it down to 77. They barge into my room and bring it down to 74, and then i make it LOWER at 72. and just as i begin feeling somewhat cool, he shows up at 12 am and i shout.
the summer saga continues. gonna be a hot one.

imposing biology and vicissitudes of life...i fully empathize 
; hopefully it reverses to normalcy within a couple of years
PS: 82 ?!!!
I just got back from Chicago where the host's house setting was 78 in favor of the visiting aged, relatives from India, and maan phew.. I set mine always at 67; the first thing I do after I checkin in any hotel is to reduce it to the minimum and then set it to 65 or 67

ikr? i guess it's coz the poor guy has to work in the basement on days he's wfh (the kids being home, he doesn't get their rooms and those 2 are the only ones with computer desks and big monitors).
that's what i was saying, it's not like just i am too hot, he's too COLD (no puns here hehe).
Anyhoos, things been fine since y'day. With trial and error and lots of help from google aunty, I have learned that I need to add saffron in my tea in the first half of my cycle (estrogen boosting - methinks - but not in second half else my boobs become gigantic - methinks); and pumpkin seeds in second half (supposedly progesterone boosting). And i now also add a little cinnamon in my tea, supposed to help with cramping and stuff (sorry TMI).
for now, not gonna go any more treatmentie than this. At work i have cooling face and eye gels, so if i am hot and sweaty at work i wash face and apply those, relief!

Why not huddle together and seek a heat balance, you cooling and he warming while also saving money on the A/C and heater.sulu wrote:i think XH and i are BOTH menopausing.
