Hi,
Just joined & desperate...I'm 51 and been having the most horrendous flushes. I used to laugh at my poor mother when she had them ("just you wait ...." She used to say), but oh boy, this has certainly come back to bite me on the bum!!!

I can't recall when I last had a decent night sleep due to night sweats, my poor partner sleeps in the spare room coz of it & my restlessness & selfishness...Despite the recent bitterly cold weather, I had the window open & still am using my 4.5 tog quilt...he says I'm 'hot', but sadly that doesn't refer to my sexual prowess....it's been ages since there has been any activity in that department as I don't feel like it, am irritable & sweaty!!!
I dread the summer months....have just made an appointment with my GP with a view to HRT... I would be interested to hear from any ladies out there who have just started HRT & their experiences...
