Thanks for sharing your experiences, Leslee. Night sweats apparently come from more issues than menopause, I have found. I took estrogen for ten years and it helped me sleep and feel much better. My night heat flashes came from Tamocifen which I took after breast cancer in the early stages. I only took it for six months because I wasn't sleeping. I was supposed to stay on it for five years, but couldn't imagine giving up sleep for that long. Now I am dealing with diabetes and have hot spells day and night even though my blood sugar numbers are almost normal most of the time. My son had hot sweats during immune treatment after prostate cancer. Diet and exercise help more than some pills, I have discovered. Eating lots of veggies makes me feel wonderful in the summer.
