Does anyone have any tips for NightSweats? I'm taking Red Clover and Soya stuff but can't go on HRT or owt due to other medication. Believe it or not, I've swapped my duvet to the summer weight one, heating is off in bedroom and window is always wide open yet am still kicking off covers during the night.
.

It's something you just have to go through I'm afraid. I had a time when the night sweats were horrendous but 3 years on, it's settled down. I still run warm but not as bad as it was about three years ago. I didn't bother taking anything - just altered my diet slightly to include foods which contain phytoestrogens like broccoli and cabbage.

Have decluttered the muck from me into a bath of lovely warm water. Will make my sandwiches in a moment then head for work

I see Im not the only one that has boxes of 'stuff' on the landing then

Will do some declutter of the bedroom floor, then have to get ready to drive to midWales. Be back Thursday morning (I hope) ready for some more decluttering and cleaning.

Do you have to go.............. check out the weather forecast as its terrible and heavy snow is due in - if you have to go make sure you take blankets, hot flask, mobile phone [fully charged] shovel etc - please be very careful

Morning folks.

Zoe - congrats. Date free vibes coming your way.
Careful - I found wearing pj's helped cos it stops you sticking to the sheets.:eek: If it got really bad I used to get up & make myself a cuppa. It passes honestly. & if you have a memory foam mattress or bed topper it will make things worse as it retains your body heat so u can't cool down.
Helen - Hugs hope they soon have your husband sorted.

benW Also full tank of petrol - if you get caught in snow, you'll be able to keep engine running for heating. Cat Litter is a good alternative to carrying salt for if you get stuck in anywhere.

Thanks for the answers about hot flushes. Am miserable as this batch has gone on for about a month and am desperate for a decent night of sleep.
Will get moving in a minute.

heavy snow here - very deep & still snowing. DS was due back to school today but it is closed for only the 2nd time in the 7 years he has been there. he is currently laid in our bed watching tv but having checked todays list he is going to have to get out of it soon....! will try and persuade/bribe him to tidy and clean his bedroom but he seems more keen on going sledging.
