Former middle school teacher Lorraine Carter Salazar isn’t easily embarrassed. But when she began having hot flashes at school about a decade ago, she worried about how she came off to coworkers, students and parents.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t convey competence,” said Carter Salazar, 62. She recounted how parents could tell she was uncomfortable in meetings. One time, a student even fanned her and remarked that she was used to seeing her grandma feeling the same way.<\/p>\n

When she took her concerns to her doctor, he didn’t take them seriously.<\/p>\n

“So you sweat,” Carter Salazar recalled him saying. “And he’s right. Nobody dies from sweating.”<\/p>\n
