I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a bit of a male menopause. It started at the age of 18 and continued until I was 45.
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
Menopause is your return to where you were before, when your hormone levels are the same as a pre-adolescent girl's.
I didn't start sweating until I had children. That was one of the first things I realized when my daughter Violet was born - I started getting wicked BO. You know there's a difference between basketball BO and stress BO? This was definitely stress BO. Like, new dad BO.
As soon as I get into my house, I put on sweats and pyjamas.
Basically, my problem was attributed to stress more than anything. I don't know what that does and I guess doctors can tell you that there's chemicals that build up in your system when you go through a lot of stress and constant stress.
I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalized with serious problems.
I start sweating and shaking and having panic attacks if I am not at home.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a little sweat. I'm always moving, so it's normal for me, and it actually makes my curly hair better because it gives it a bit more texture and volume.
