[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a book by Newson on menopause. I’m currently in menopause and it was seriously affecting my sleep and life with night sweats and multiple flashes a day. I asked my obgyn about hrt and am on a patch. I have my life back and am so glad I did this. You don’t have to suffer.[/quote]

I have an appointment with my doctor next week. I just can’t take the night sweats anymore. It’s been going on for a year and it’s unbearable.  The interrupted sleep is killing me. To the posters who are saying just to deal with it, I’d like to wake them up 2-3 times EVERY night with uncomfortable sweat. There’s a reason sleep deprivation is a form of torture.

Hoping I can get something. Everything I’ve read has indicated that doing menopause hormone therapy (MHT) before age 60 and within 10 years of menopause is safe. I’m about to turn 55 and winding down to menopause. And there’s no family history of cancer or other issues mentioned when considering MHT. [/quote]

[b]Ive been waking up 2 -3 times per night since adolescence.  it's normal for me.[/b]  I can remember twice sleeping through the night - both times jet lagged.  I didn't particularly like the feeling of being "out" for such a long time.  I like waking up and knowing how much longer I have to sleep.[/quote]

We’re not talking about waking up to see the time and then roll back to sleep. This is something altogether different. It’s about waking up because you’re so uncomfortable with overheating. You have to move and around and adjust blankets and fans. It’s literally uncomfortable. You sharing your comparison to your nightly wakings since adolescence speaks either to a lack of reading comprehension or to just plain cluelessness about what night sweats are or both.  [/quote]
