I feel so bad for my mom, however as she gets older, she battles more as well as more health concerns, but she developed thyroid concerns recently on top of dealing with diabetes. As if that cannot get any worse, she’s going through menopause as well as experiences so several hard symptoms from it, and the worst symptom for her is the recurring sizzling flashes. She told me that she can manage everything else, however the sizzling flashes are totally out of her control. At any random moment, my mother can go from comfortable to dripping with sweat from a sizzling flash. She has even felt this in the middle of winter while kneeling outside in a blizzard. My dad is trying so hard to find ways to help her… He started off by purchasing a few fans for around the home as well as a small fan for her work desk. Those did not really do much. Then he installed small window cooling units, however these weren’t genuinely effective. Finally, he decided to look into updating the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system entirely. He chose zone heating because this would allow him to set individual rooms to identifiable hot as well as cold temperatures. This meant that my mom could keep one room cool at all times as well as this would be her safe haven. I thought my dad was crazy to go to such serious measures at first, although I quickly realized that this gave my mom what she needed. I am so thankful that my dad has found a way to bring her comfort, even if it required a hefty investment. She deserves to be comfortable while in these hard times in her life!
