Does some of you also get that all of a sudden hot flush feeling where you get hot from head to toe, sweat dripping down your body feel like you just want to pull your clothes off. I got this feeling earlier today again, my head was spinning body shaking felt like im going to faint couldn't even stand on my legs the way they were shaking and weak. My heart was beating 10 x faster only saw white blur sports all over... what can it be?

Yup. I get the same thing. It lasts about five minutes but my hair gets wet and heart rate goes up. Ringing in ears also. Was worried it was my heart but I think it's Lupus or maybe both.

Oh my goodness. So eerie to read as this happens to me very often. Sometimes I have to lean over at my desk with my eyes closed taking multiple deep breaths so I don't feel nauseous as well.

Yes I had it for about 3 months ...sometimes it would happen at least 20 times a day ...its terrible ...I've since started on methatrexate and I don't seem to have it as much so it must be working ...only had 4doses so far ...I thought it was fever but I took my temp a few times when I was having the hot flush and it was normal ...I think its to do with lupus ....its not nice
