to be sick of sweating like a pig whilst having freezing cold feet?! Menopause can fuck off.

No I am not BU. I know I'm not! Just pissed off.

Sitting on the sofa winding down after (yet another) late shift. Freezing cold feet but I am so bloody hot!

I am 50 and been menopausal for about a year now, got away with it in the main thanks to my Mirena, but the sweats/shivers/sweats/shivers are really getting on my tits. I can warm my feet up but then the rest of me goes into even bigger overdrive.

Same, but I'm 45.
Constantly soaking wet and sweaty, yet often feeling cold.
WTF is that all about?

I used to suffer from terrible cold feet when I was younger, it was down to poor circulation from being a smoker (which I only realised when I gave up!).

There's a few health conditions related to poor circulation that you should probably rule out just to be 100% sure it's only menopause.

Hope you are feeling more comfortable soon!

Right, but this is down to menopause, as per the thread.

I'm the opposite usually 😂

Might need a duvet or blanket but my feet always have to be poking out in front of a fan 😂

I dont know about anyone else but the sweats start so I get cold and then need to wrap up so the sweats start again!

I have always had a tendency to cold feet, even as a small child its just one of those things. But I have noticed it more since menopause as the rest me is so bloody hot and sweaty.....or cold and sweaty.....just sweaty really!

I have reynauds and constant ice feet, even in the height of summer. I also sweat excessively from my face/head and back, likely because i am significantly overweight and have a hormone imbalance (pcos).
It drives me insane after any kind of exercise, even just walking, and the mad sweats when i stop, or come indoors to even a slightly warmer temp to outside, and my face is just beaded in sweat with constant wiping, makes me super embarrassed around my partner. Inevitably once i stop sweating my clothes are wet and i get cold!
