From Wikipedia:
Severe hot flashes can make it difficult to get a full night’s sleep (often characterized as insomnia), which in turn can affect mood, impair concentration, and cause other physical problems. When hot flashes occur at night, they are called “night sweats.” As estrogen is typically lowest at night, some women get night sweats without having any hot flashes during the daytime.
Did I mention that I’m waking up burning up during the night lately as well? POI? Also did I ever tell you I’m a total hypochondriac? *Sigh* I am due for a physical anyway. Dr. Google is not making me feel any better.
Nice. After having all my female organs removed…boy do I know a thing or two about this. I take my estrogen before bed so everyone else will love me in the morning ;-). Good luck. HOpe they find a solution for ya.
I’m hoping my female organs are still functioning properly and it’s just something viral working its way through my system. I had to get up and change last night due to the night sweats, ugh! NOT FUN. You have my utmost sympathy my dear!
Hi ya.
Found you through Fragile What. I, too, am a FX mom.
I am 39 and have had sweats nad flashes for probably two years. Not fun but I manage. I should probably go to the doctor but that’s soooo much trouble, ya know?

Definitely too much trouble, all that dialing and having to walk a block to see my PCP, lol. Man, I’m so lazy!
Too make matters worse, my PCP just sent out letters announcing her pending move to the country and letting all her patients know they need to pick a new doctor. So I’ll be starting from scratch too…definitely too much trouble *sigh*
