For women only

I am 52 years old. I thought I was going through all this evil menapause stuff for the past few years without feeling too bad.

But the last couple of weeks, I have been getting really extreme hot flashes. My face turns bright red and I have a nearly irrestible urge to tear off all my clothes.

At home, that's no problem.

But when I'm at a client's site, I absolutely scare the folks I'm working with - they are afraid there is something wrong with me, so I find that I have to tell them that I am having a hot flash.

Since the great majority of people I work with are men, they are greatly embarrassed by this admission of mine.

But if I don't tell them what's going on, they will think that I'm ill. I don't know - is it better to be truthful or to try to ignore the ever so obvious?
