I'm going to be 43 in a few months, been using this progesterone hormone cream my doc had put me on for hot flashes, and particularly the night sweats...got them made at a compounding pharmacy. I think I'm done trying to deal with this naturally. My periods are also very painful, I feel as if I have the flu for 3 days a month. I was on the Birth Control Pill for about 10 years in my 20's-30's and went off thinking it was bad for me. My doctor just prescribed me a low dose birth control pill to start on next month but have to go through another horrible period before starting it. Has anyone else been through this? Any advise for the night sweats? I have long straight hair and wash it only at night and then to have to wake up all sweaty after going to sleep all showered and clean is absolutely horrible. I've just had it, hopefully the pill will end all of this. I know it has other side effects, but this has got to be the worst! I thought getting older was easier!
