Unfortunately due to medical reasons I can't take HRT. I seem to battling on ok with most of peri symptoms but the heat and sweating are killing me!! I can't even call them hot flushes as I'm just hot all the time!
I have two main issues. Night sweats-most nights I end up getting into the spare bed as I cannot cope with sharing with DH. But I still wake up dripping with sweat even if I'm on my own. Is there any particular bedding that might help? Already got cotton sheets and duvet cover (which is normally thrown off). I've also got a cooling blanket which is pretty good but any other suggestions would be welcome.
Second is just general sweating. Any physical activity and it's dripping off me. Emptying the dishwasher, loading the washing machine, loading shopping into or out of the car, you name it. And exercise itself is ridiculous. Im the only person who has sweat pouring out of her in a yoga class!!
Im just so fed up with it and it's a bit embarrassing too. I've tried black cohosh and sage but neither made any difference. Currently trying soya isoflavones but I haven't seen any marked difference.
Has anyone found anything that works other than HRT or am I destined to end up like the wicked witch melting into blob on the floor?! 😫
