I had my last period two months ago and I probably get at least 10-15 hot flashes a day. I really take it pretty well except for the cold chills afterwards. So the blanket gets thrown off the bed and it's full of sweat, and I feel like 5 hours sleep a night is all I need. And I'm working two jobs and my boss is the boss from hell at one of them. And I'm coming out. And I'm sick and just had shots and the first day of a dose pack and and antibiotic.

LORD HELP ME JESUS.

And I LUV this guy for the salute and I salute him back

Jeez Deb, hope you feel better soon. My s/o has gone through hormone therapy with bio-identicals and they take awhile to get them balanced but make a BIG difference. Also, with sleep issues, she's found that an Alpha-stim device helps immensely where typical sleep drugs really sucked.

Good Luck!

Lucky me. I will never have to go through that. I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 36 yrs old. A Dr said my dear you are much to young to go through all that, I`m going to put you on hormone replacement therapy. It is the cheapest of my meds and one I can afford if I had to pay for my own. My husband said I was no longer a woman because of the surgery and he divorced me, but, at least I won`t get all bitchy about it.

Thanks for the link Rich. I haven't really done anything yet, I hate soymilk and I guess I need to do something, but I don't wanna do HRT, cause you know, it's bad for you, good for you, bad for you, *sigh*

@Tany, your ex was a dick.

I'm fortunate enough to just be having the occasional hot flash right now, which is great because I'm very thin and usually always cold.

I'm always so freaking hot Wicca

From you, debbyski, I'm never quite sure how to take that sort of remark.
