Progesterone cream

Your situation sounds really, really hard. I had night sweats really bad before, and it made me so tired. Still have them before my period. 

Before and during your period, your estrogen is high. If you used progesterone cream, it might help. 

Some creams are progesterone only, and some are estrogen mixed with progesterone. 

One thing I did to relieve the hot flashes, the night sweats, was really control how much carbohydrate I was eating. It seems to me that hot flashes come when the sugar from the carbs hits your bloodstream, about three or four hours after eating them. I learned to eat a smaller amount of carbs more often, and I switched to low GI (glycemic index) foods like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, smaller amounts of pasta and rice. I eat brown rice, but white rice is just as low in glycemic index. And sweet potatoes are really good, also for your thyroid troubles.

The nice thing about this is the effect is immediate. The hot flashes go down right away. 

However I still have hot flashes when I am stressed and busy, and before my period. I take a herbal mixture for pms. I think a lot of women on this site are recommending menopace.

Another time I was suffering badly from hot flashes and sleep problems, it turned out to be iron deficiency. I do recommend you have your iron levels checked.

I think I am very sensitive to small changes in my body's biochemistry. I do suffer from depression, since I was a child, and have been taking anti-depressants for about ten or fifteen years. I didn't really notice that they helped me with peri-menopause symptoms! but if you are a really sensitive person yourself, you could think about going on them for a while. 

About your gynaecologist, maybe you should try another one. She sounds like she is dismissing you and your problems. I know they are just humans, but even a moderate amount of sympathy from a doctor in the face of really difficult ailments can go a long way to relieving our (the patient's) stress.

So, in sum: space out your carbohydrates (5 times a day - the two extra ones can just be crackers). Eat low glycemic carbs. Eat sweet potatoes. Try progesterone cream (I realize you don't have periods, but the hormones are still cycling, just at lower levels). Try menopace or other herbal medicines recommended on this site. Think about whether anti-depressants are right for you. 

I don't know anything about thyroid hormones, I am sorry I can't recommend anything about that, but I am sure some ladies on this site can.

And have faith that you will get through this. It is great you stopped working, it will give you time to take care of yourself. You are precious and important in this world. Big hugs to you.

i too have hot flushes back they returned post menopause last year ..

I was having up to 20 a day last summer here out the blue ( they did stop in peri years ago) 

i get very warm in bed too but not night sweats, had those in peri but they were proper night sweats waking up sopping wet, this isnt .. 

When the temperatures rise, hot flushes kick in, our meno bodies are trying to cool themselves  down, and in confused mode ..

you say you tried many HRT .. When was your last one,... This would affect your hormomes, up and down etc. with being on and off HRT.. Now your body is trying to find its natural meno stage again maybe, you didnt say when you stopped it all.

after HRT orally and patch etc, when stopping the peri kicks in again as hormones are declining again, takes time to find its natural state.

i do feel for you, and hope you cope.. Be strong, its not easy i know..

like Kristi says, when post meno reached (no HRT ) then the fibroids are no longer fed with hormones and begin to shrink.. 

Some fibroids cause bleeding etc so yours must be not so bothersome,so that must be a relief .. ' if not causing spotting or bleeding' have you had a scan recently had them checked out ..

see a diiferent Gyno, if you can, maybe yours not offering the support they should..

i cant take HRT as too high risk for me, i am age 50 and had a ten year peri, the only thing my Gyno did suggest was ovestinon vaginal ovules ' estriol' kinder estrogen. Thats just for vag dryness i have and he pointed out to me, they dont treat any other symptoms or flushes just vag dryness and bladder irritation inside feelings..

been fantastic for me, couldnt be with out it, so i feel your frustration.

i pay where i live for a well woman check, annually, with a Gyno, and he is wonderful, 

Checks everything, breast scan, transvaginal scan ( shows me ovaries, uterine thickness, and checks no fibroids, etc ) Colposcopy checking cells on cervix and all areas around. smears and a good consultation about menopause .. Not expensive either .. Worth every penny..

Good luck hun
