I always used to have a body temperature below normal until 2 years ago. I had a partial hysterectomy at 25 and I'm now 60. I don't know if this is the typical hot flashes of menopause because I'm hot all the time, all year through. When I wake up, I'm comfortably cool for a few minutes. Once I'm wide awake I suddenly, within a second or two, get very hot and have to throw the covers off. I stay hot all day until I fall asleep at night. I've had my thyroid checked. It is apparently normal. Winters are a pleasure now! The funny thing is, though, I don't feel the heat as much as I used to. In addition to this, I am now perspiring for the first time in my life as well. Any ideas?

Hi Cheri, I bet your estrogen levels are off, hot flashes and night sweats are signs of low estrogen, just been through this and talked to several doctors. HOrmone replacement was the best option for me, I am only 33 though. I also sleep half under and half out of the covers it kinda tricks my body from waking up 4 + times a night, best of luck, Liz
