Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was in class, I felt miserable because I was sore from doing push ups and fighting the day before, and in class we had to stand for the whole 1:15 because we were in a work shop.

i was standing there, my stomach felt hungry even though I had breakfast, I was starting to feel nauseous, then my whole body got hot, like my blood felt hot, still felt like I was going to vomit, then my whole body felt cold.  Like my arms just chill, and not cold like the outside of your body is in a cold place, but like the inside was cold.  I was really dizzy and had to walk out of class to lean against a railing for a few minutes to pull myself together.

Is that a hot flash?  I am 30 days on T, and my periods usually come around this time, near the end of the month.  Should I get anymore of those?  It was terrible.

I never got ill, but I would just be sitting and suddenly I would be drenched in sweat.  I do get the dizziness but that is usually from moving the wrong way or too fast.

Just be aware of it and see if you get it again.

When we took our son to the doctor to start T she said to him that he needed to drink lots of milk & take Vitamin D because not only would he be going through the changes to look like a man but he also would be going through menapause since he was supressing his estrogen with the T.

I had a single, really intense hotflash the night after I got my first T shot. I have not had another one since then, though; so you may luck out and that'll be your only one.

Yep sounds like a hot flash.
As stated already, menapause.
Now you are on T not only are you in puberty you will experiance some of the menapause symptoms cause you are going through both.
Hey look at it like this, you get a unique look at the human condition.

I went through the menopause naturally but before I did I had one episode like that. It was like the body thermometer had broken down. Felt like you did, faint, hot and then shivering cold. I was ok the next day.

I think it is due to a sudden fluctuation from your normal hormone levels and hopefully it'll be the only one you have. It's a bit of a frightener eh?

I never got any hot flashs but I have heard a lot of guys say that they did. So yea, I'm assuming thats what that was. I doubt you will get them much longer because your body will be more and more use to the T in your system.

Yeah, I went through 1-1.5 months of that. It sucks, but it does stop. Just push through it.

I don't know, to me that sounds sort of like the panic attacks I've had.  But, of course, if that's not an option... Most likely a hot flash.  I've actually never had a hot flash... yet.  I hope I don't get any, but I could live with it.

my roommate said it sounded like a panic attack too.. but, i wasnt panicing

Hmm, guess it must have been a hot flash then.  Although I have felt that way before, when sick.  Especially before vomiting.  As I don't know what hot flashes are like, I can't really know! 

yea, i did feel sick.. bla it was awful, and worse because I was in the middle of class.  I havent gotten another one yet though, thankfully, hopefully I wont get any more

I got hot flashes for about 3 weeks, then they went away. I think it happened between like 3 and 4ish months.

Mine started right way. I guess it's different for each person.

I started getting hot flashes around the 1 month mark. I hope they go away soon  >:(

I just had some crash hot flashes last night, about 3 weeks in. I felt so sick this morning I had to miss class.

I think that is a hot flash, and it's quite normal, women on menopause experience those as well.
