Morning!
Having briefly read a couple of posts on here it seems I could be a lot worse off, my best wishes to you all, however I am not feeling so great....
I am 45, started with irregular periods last year and also last June I experienced five weeks of severe hot flushes. I made a doctors appointment but by the time it came around the flushes had gone.
They have returned again this month and are making me miserable, mainly because I can't sleep due to have anything between 2 and 10 flushes a night. I am also suffering from headaches but don't know if these are due to hormones or tiredness.
Unfortunately I am the type of person that needs a good 8 hours sleep a night to feel good and so I am not feeling at all good about myself due to lack of sleep. I just can't focus on anything other than getting through the day and then night. If these flushes continue as they are I don't see I have any other option than to consider HRT.
I have tried a few supplements etc as well as the lady magnet but to no avail.
Given my only and main complaint is hot flushes can anyone give me any advice on my best options. Last week I said to my husband that I really did't want to go on HRT but one week later I am an emotional wreck due to lack of sleep and can't think any further forward than getting through today...
Thanks in advance.
