Confessions of an Overheated Woman

Are you Hot? I mean seriously. It comes and goes in waves for me. Some months are worse than others. I'm still unsure if the Perimenopause has hit me full on yet. Who has been through it? I have researched that it can go on for years. Sounds exciting! So, I have had a handful of days where I go to bed, and wake up all sweaty. My hair is wet, or was wet at one point during the night because it looks amazing when I wake up. Almost always though, I am always hot, not necessarily hot flashes. Its not on and off all day. It is one constant state of just sweating. Curious whoever else has gone through this or is going through this right now, what can I do to help stay cool. I drink so much water I am going  to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Aside from putting a pool at my desk at work what can a girl do? I seriously laugh at all of this because in my head, and when I look i  the mirror, I'm like you are not 47, you are still 29. People tell me all the time how great I look for my age. So going through this change, or upcoming change is weird to me. I mean, I would be happy to part ways with my period but at some point do you feel less of yourself when it is finally gone?
