Hot flashes can happen well before menopause, and some medications can cause that sensation as well. Are you diagnosed with MS?

Occasionally, the right side of my face turns red, gets hot, and stays that way for several hours. Weird!!!

Hi Uppity, I'm still in Limbo and on NO medication. I have had all the blood tests to say my hormones are fine. But the last 3 weeks or so I am constantly getting hot flushes.
It only lasts about a min or so then i get cold. this goes on all day and all night.
Very annoying.

Thanks

Barbie

Blood tests don't always pick up early hormonal changes. The hot flashes combined with your bladder problems should definitely be brought to the attention of your doctor. You could be having some problems with hormones (and not necessarily related to menopause.)
