When I first had the surgery, I was put on a hormone replacement therapy patch. It did nothing for the hot flashes. And I do have trouble sleeping. Getting to sleep as well as staying asleep. I finally stopped all hormones (I did research on it and found out it wasn't what doctors thought it would be).

The night sweats are the worst. Especially since Moo sleeps in my arms under the covers. Boy does he ever put off heat!! The next thing I know, I'm stripping off layers of clothes, sleeping with the ceiling fan on. And you say they last for 10 years??
