So at 55 and still perimenopausal (64 days so far this time) I kind of thought I'd got the hang of all my symptoms.
My hot sweats at night have been horrendous but for the last couple of weeks I have developed a new routine.
I work till 10pm go to bed between 12 and 1am, have a hot flash or two before I go to sleep somewhere about 2am. Wake up about 3am absolutely freezing, full body shivers deep in my bones cold...try to ignore it, give up put the electric blanket on and fall asleep as I warm up... wake up about 4.30 with the worst hot flash ever as I'm still under an electric blanket (which is on a timer it goes off after 1 hour). Wake again about 5 am with another hot flash then about 6.30 is another bout of freezing cold. By this time I'm so tired I generally choose between putting the electric blanket back on and getting another nap in before the next hot sweat....or just get up coss I'm so fed up...
I'm back at work at 11.30 am today it's 8.45 am I have a t-shirt, shirt and a jumper on, the sun is out and I'm freezing....going to go sit on the sofa with the downstairs electric blanket on and then wait for the next hot spell....
Yes I'm on HRT but a really low dose through choice as I'm progesterone intolerant 😫 to high and I want to self end....
So much fun! Could really do with some support.
Have a lovely day everyone 😊
