so i have stage 2 endometriosis, right? right. and ive been on some level of estrogen suppression for just about 4 years now i think. (ive been on hormone management for just shy of 6 years).
this has led to medically induced menopause. which includes heat flashes. except lately, my body has chosen to in a constant state of Very Warm to the point it is physically uncomfortable and i cannot sleep.
POTS might also be playing a role here, unclear. but the main culprit is the no estrogen in my system. and normally the solution to menopause is adding in estrogen. but i cant do that because then id be back in square one and also in horrid pain all the time.
does anyone have anything that helps keep them cool in the face of hormone imbalance? its in the 50° - 60°F (10°-15°C) range in san francisco, and i am genuinely suffering. i am afraid for when it get to the 80s and 90s in the summer. (26-32°c)
