Oh yes, if I could just get a full eight hours of sleep I wouldn't be so irritable. I wake up sometimes 2hrs after i finally fall asleep. And if I'm lucky ,I might sleep for 4hrs. I get hotter if I'm really active. I carry a fan in my purse and I have one for the bedroom and living room. I don't' take anything for it I just let it take its course. But there is some OTC stuff you might want to try because every woman is different but yet the same. It's all the " mens' fault! Menstruation, MENopause, MENtal Illness {just kidding} or am I?
ignore it and find something to do. there is nothing to be done regarding normal
I am in peri-menopause..due to hysterectomy...And oh my goodness what I wouldn't give to be able to sleep! And I can't seem to remember anything!. And now that I had my hysterrectomy I'm cold during the day and sweat to death at night!/ Have you talked to your doctor?. I know there are over the counter things you can take for hot flashes etc. I take Melatonin to goto sleep.. It is a natural sleep aid... menopuase stinks!! hang in there!
i too have problems, chemo put me in menopause. it seems to wake you up in your sleep because you get hot and sweat profusely and then you get cold and its worse at night. i use to think all these people were crazy when they talked about hot flashes. i have renamed them power surges. lol. have you tried black cohosh 540 mg. alot of people say that this vitamin works good. you can purchase it at any pharmacy. I'm unable to take it because of cancer medications. I'm also on an antidepressant that is suppose to help, cant tell that it does much good. sorry other than taking hormones or the vitamins threes not much you can do. but id try the vitamin's first. there are so may reports about taking hormone's these days, id be scared to take any. good luck, power surges are hell! i know this sounds weird but ive even put my head in the freezer to cool down before. oh! the pleasures of getting older!
