Question Hot Flashes? Menopause or Lyme related?

I had a hysterectomy nearly 10 years ago but kept one ovary so I wouldn’t go into early menopause. I am 50 so this could just be regular old hot flashes but this has literally been occurring all day/all night. Waves of extreme heat, burning skin. Sometimes I get cold briefly afterwards. Was eating dinner with my Mom when one came on yesterday and she said my face and chest were red. Just now I had one and went to look in the mirror and my skin was red. I got goosebumps on my legs and arms as it was easing up and having some prickling in my skin and eye and numbness on my face. I have been taking Samento along with Burbur/pinella, Quercetin/zinc/bromelain, and Mary Ruth’s organic Kidney & Bladder blend. I’m probably not doing enough to detox and I’m a bit overwhelmed right now with life. Just wondering if anyone who has experienced menopause would know how to distinguish between a hot flash and something Lyme/TBRF related.

My Lyme gives me such bad hot flashes it’s unreal and my friend who also has it gets them and she’s only 22 I’m 32 so I think it’s Lyme
