I'm hot! When the girls around me are putting on their sweaters, I'm looking for a fan to cool down. My temperature is normal. I don't remember this being a problem previous to HRT. Any others here experiencing this or is it all in my mind? -Dora

I'm always cold now that I'm on HRT.

I have no idea what you are talking about Dora. I am fine. Wait a mintue, while I turn the a/c down further. ;D
I have always ran warm. So you can not prove the HRT thingy by me.

I have noticed occasional "hot flashes" since HRT, or sitting there glistening (women don't sweat, we glisten) while others around me seem fine. I have a good friend going through menopause right now, and when we have compared notes it seems to be a similar effect.

Not sure, but I think that I am definitely more cold-sensitive with a couple of years of HRT, a bit of the opposite of your post. I find myself more likely to add an extra layer these days.... and not just because I'm in Canada, lol.

pre-HRT, I used to always feel it's too hot!
When winter, I felt "yay, not so hot anymore"
Now it flipped around, at winter, I cover myself in blankets and cloths, at summer it's nice!
