Hot flush
flash up
pressure point
no stop
heat burns
brain turns
into mush
with flush.
Heart pounds
skewed sounds
head throbs
stifled sobs
anger flashes
teeth gnashes
temper flares
no one dares
talk to Mum
‘til it’s done.
Hot flush
has gone.
Oh the joys
of menopause!

lol…and to think i used to feel like they were exaggerating how bad hot flashes are 😦
Me too! Now I know why ladies of a certain age wear twin sets – it’s is becoming an appealing fashion choice – could even get the purple rinse to match the look!!

Lol – hopefully it is a song you won’t have to relate to for many, many years!!

You stole my poem….lol….well at least my experience…except I call it peri-menopause because I still get the lovely other parts, too!!!
Lol! Double whammy – that’s not good, I’m glad I’m only getting one set of symptoms!! You have my sympathies!!
