Tim, Eric and Mark,
I have the same symptoms. I wake up so many times and it takes hours
to fall asleep along with the freezing and suffocatingly hot flashes.
I think you are right about it being neurological like so many other
things we experience. I wish they would come up with a solution for
us. It is quite miserable not been able to sleep or being extremely
cold or hot at night.

I too sleep very poorly. My nasty-ass sensations of intense cold
often keep me from sleeping at all. It has to be a neurogenic thing
because I'll feel like I'm soaking in ice water regardless of my
temperature. Anyone else have cold sensations? Anyway, even if I'm
not having trouble with the cold sensations, I either can't fall asleep
or can't stay asleep. I guess not being able to toss and turn easily
makes sleep more difficult.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Folks, I have not heard anybody mention trazadone/ambien combo. I take
150 mg trazadone and 25 mg ambien. As I understand from my doctor
ambien will get you to sleep, trazadone will keep you asleep and
continue to put you back to sleep. Trazadone may also be like
amytrp..... in that I understand it to help enhance and tie in various
pain relief meds.
There is nuthin worse than lack of sleep and I wonder if y'all can see
a sleep specialist. Sweet dreams comrades.
