Hot flashes vs. numb toes

I don't know what's worse HOT FLASHES or NUMB TOES.  It's a toss up.  The hot flashes come and go at any time of the day or night.  One minute I'm freezing and the next I'm stripping and fanning myself.  It's a vicious cycle.  But the numb toes are numb all the time.  Just tingly and now that the weather is colder out my toes are like in a frozen state.  It's so hard to explain but if my toes feel cold then my entire body is cold and I just can't seem to get warm unless I have a HOT FLASH.    When I'm at work, I take my shoes off and wear slippers.  I know, sounds kind of gross but my numb toes can not handle any kind of dress shoe or boot.  So imagine how sexy I look at work in business clothes and bedroom slippers.  Luckily I sit at my desk most of the day and if I have to run to the restroom outside my office, I put my work shoes back on. 

So I'm thinking the numb toes get the vote on what's worse because this symptom never goes away.
