Like Finding Yourself Suddenly Trapped in the Back of an Abandoned Moving Van. In the Sahara. At Noon.
In case you were wondering what chemically-induced hot flashes feel like, the description above is as close as I can get. I seem also to suffer from a heat-induced variation on Tourette's Syndrome, which causes me to swear uncontrollably, but with great feeling and creativity, for the duration of the event. I usually end with uttering the word, "Nasty!"

I think we can safely say that Pat's Tourette's-ish symptoms are triggered by extreme temperature shifts.
When Pat lived through a winter in Tulsa, the first 15 seconds of outdoor time provoked a seemingly autonomic, predictable-but-surprising, creative, compound, multi-hyphenated (well, a transcript would've required hyphens) wellspring of cursing.
Damn!
You're right!
I prefer to think of them as "power surges."
