When I was going through the "pause" I had it pretty easy - I would get
night sweats but that was about all except when I'd have a glass of wine or
other alcohol. Yes, soaking wet with the sheets sticking to me. Since I
live out in the woods I could step out onto the back deck in the middle of
the night to cool off without worry of being seen in my "non-jammies"! It
was heavenly!
Best to all for the new year,
Linda, the string-a-holic in Oregon where we're warmer than most of the rest
of the country for a switch. Last year for Christmas we had 42" of snow!

Lucky you. I had similar history. Here I am, 66 next week, and no end in
sight. Thankfully I learnt the trick of turning the pillow over so I can
start off again with a cool side. DH, as he gets older, likes to have the
covers up around his ears, so it might be separate bedrooms for us in
future. Mine nice and cool and he can get his as hot as he wants. I just
dislike having that "flush" in the face when I "flash". At least I have a
built in heater on these cool days.

Some of my friends call it a "personal tropical vacation".
And... re the HRT, quite a few years ago it was determined that staying
on HRT for a long time increased the chance of cancer, so most doctors in
the US encourage you to ride it out... it will usually go away. I went
through "surgical menapause" when I was 48 and had a complete hysterectomy
(including the ovaries, as my Mom died from Ovarian Cancer). I was
started on HRT, but stopped after reading the reports about it. Initially
after that, I had some trouble with the flashes/flushes, but eventually
they subsided.
