Your so right Alison I've read so much about HRT but I'm to the point that I will have to try this and hope for some relief and trust the doctors to stay on top of possiblities of risk and some of that theory has changed!! Best to you too girl I'm right there with you on this!!

I never dreamt the night sweats could be so bad. I apologise for all the silly suggestions I've given to others, like having dry nightshirts at the side of the bed to change into and the chillow (cold pilllow). Nothing helps, just have to ride with the sweat, turn over, shiver and wait for the next one.
I'm cold and clammy during the day with heat flushes now and again. I explained to my daughter it's like when you open the oven door to lift the dinner out!
Why have you stopped hrt, is it the length of time you are allowed to take it. I'm 57, considering hrt, still have periods.

that's just it Alison, if you knew the end of this was in sight, you could stick it out, we women are made of strong stuff, but like for all of us, we don't know and nobody in the medical world seems to know neither. Surely they have gathered enough data now to be able to tell by symptoms were we are at with it all. Do what's right for you now

Alison I don't know if I did or not my family doctor will not give HRT drugs due to to many bad side affects she said! But is sending me to a person who makes cremes that will be made just for me by a Apothecary chemist person I will be calling him today to get appointment ! I feel like no one wants to help with these issues!! Just sad that they have not come up with something to help with so many women going through this horrible crap!!

Me too! Mine started three weeks ago, coinciding with the heat wave in the UK. Didn't know what was causing the night sweats. It's awful waking feeling the heat rise, pushing the sheets off, dropping off to sleep again then waking shivering. I'm trying sage and passionflower and meno serene at the moment but 8 days in no relief yet.
Got an appointment next week with doctor to discuss hrt options. I still have periods.
