    Hi Christine.. Yes I have good and bad nights sleep.. I'll node off f for an hour then awake for couple of hours and if you are sweating, all points to the wrecked hormones... I take magnesium, vitamins d, b and c as this help with my moods and joint.. Also take cod liver oil and tuneric.. Its one day at a time for me until I come out the other side of this bumpy ride. CK
