Need suggestions for menopause night sweats

[Mac14]

I am in periomenopause and the night sweats are unbearable. I’m taking Evening Primrose, Estroven, Omegas, and they’re getting worse. My poor husband is frozen with me running a fan and no blankets. What are the downfalls of HRT?

🙂 You could find helpful info by reading previous discussions ..Search separately for Night Sweats, and HRT, in the searchbox (topright)

Hi. I was suffering from these terribly. They used to wake me up with crippling anxiety beforehand then would come the sweat. I used to have to get up and fan myself in the bathroom. I was very sceptical of HRT and adamant I wasn’t going on it but I have read so much about it - I armed myself with the facts and have been on it for about five months now. I’ve had it tweaked a few times so still settling down but I wish I’d done it years ago & not suffered for so long because I (incorrectly I now know) thought it was better to go through it naturally. The night sweats have almost gone completely as have the daytime hot flushes. I’m sleeping so much better & have even slept through the night quite a few times which I haven’t done since having my daughter 21 years ago! It’s not for everyone I know but have a look on Dr Louise Newson’s website and also the Balance app. Lots of good info on there. Good luck, hang in there & never give up. 😊.

Hey girl, I hear you! I wake up and change PJs few times in the night. I’ve invested in a wool pillow, duvet and mattress topper…the wool room sell them online and it’s helped but I’m still a sweaty Betty.
