I also am more emotional then I have ever been also. I hate waking up wet and cold. If you got any feedback it would be appreciated.
I don't know about a week before, Sandi. I went through surgical menopause at 28, more than eleven years ago. The hot flashes & night sweats began almost immediately. I took Premarin for eleven years, stopping in May of this year, and again, I went through all the symptoms I did at 28, only worse. I take black cohosh and vitamin E, and the symptoms have decreased both in frequency and duration (the hot flashes & irritability). If I run out of it, within a day or two, the symptoms are back with a vengeance.
I woke up several times last night just soaked, thinking I was having hot flashes, when finally, at 4am, I went downstairs & checked the thermostat. One of the kids had jacked it up to 74, with made it about 80 in my bedroom, and under a down comforter, I felt like I was in a sauna!
Peace & Love,
