Hotflash

The only constant symptom of the radiotherapeutic menopause is the so-called 'hotflash.'

Some women can count on hotflashes coming day or night as steady and as forceful as wheat coming out of the combine auger and into the truck bin during harvest.

The hotflashes of menopause represent a Pitta imbalance (Lonsdorf et al., 1993).

I was a lightning rod, now cold, now hotflashes, all weather gathered into my epicenter, reality a useless thermometer on the wall.
