these night sweats are going to drive me insane

[mrsjay]

I am now getting the regular night sweats it used to be just the odd one now and again but it is now most night, I am so bloody tired , I wake 3 of 4 times a night like I am in the sahara covers off covers on sweat dripping hair matted . Is there ANYthing i can do to ease them , been to the drs and I am not quite menopausal yet , YET DOES IT GET WORSE

My friend gets them occasionally at 76. We were together in this hall and I was still cold. She was in a short sleeved top, so asked her how she could feel so warm and she replied that she was having a hot flush. At the time I was so cold I wished I'd had one to warm me up.

I got them after starting a steroid inhaler in winter. My bed wasn't soaked but pjs were and the cold in the bedroom turned the sweat to ice < or so it felt>. My problem was solved by being naked in bed - which I don't normally like. It was my upper torso that sweated the most.

My own trigger is my back.
So sofa, bed,car, chair, can and do all set me off.

digerd, I presume you are not joking!

I'm in my ninth year of hot flushes after a rather premature menopause and no HRT (by choice).
But hey, I'm still here and there are a lot of bloody worse things that might happen.

Oh, I lied....in my TENTH year. It's affected my ability to count.

"Personal Summer" that's very sweet. My friend told me I was "having a power surge" I quite like that. When I told my daughter she said I must be "levelling up" ( I looked at her blankly....too old for computer games) she said it was how I got to be more awesome. I really like that!

I'm in my sixties and still having them. I started at 45. The only thing that worked or me was HRT but had to come off at some point so did so slowly, by cutting down and spacing them out.
