Most of my hot flashes are at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. I've got a routine now, where I rip off my clothes and fire up my iPod to read in the dark until the flash stops. Then I put my clothes back on, get back under the covers, and go right back to sleep.
The problem is the ones I have at work... I have to keep my clothes on.

I have that zappy thing sometimes. I call it "Sparky."
The other symptoms, and maybe that one too, are well accounted for by Dr. Zen's voodoo hypothesis.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Those of you doing HRT, is it bioidentical? I've got an appointment with my doctor next week to discuss it.

"Bioidentical" seems like such a made up word to me.

about HRT, it's a short term solution. How many years are you going to take it? You will probably live to be 80...

I don't know and I'm not concerned about it yet. By the time I have been on it for several years (currently been on it about 6 months), they may have developed a very long term option. If not, I retire in 9 years and can accommodate my symptoms. Right now I have to work, be able to think straight and concentrate, so for now it's a Godsend
I don't know what bioidentical HRT is!
